While digital devices can provide endless hours of entertainment and they can offer educational content, unlimited screen time can be harmful.1 The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents place a reasonable limit on entertainment media.

Generational differences in social media use We’ve long been told that as far as social media is concerned, Facebook is now the realm of “old people.” Lifelong learning is becoming an economic imperative THE RECEPTION AREA contains a segment of a decommissioned Underground train carriage, where visitors wait to be collected. The surfaces are wood and glass. In each room the talk is of code, web development and data science. At first sight the London office of General Assembly looks like that of any other tech startup.

Mission-oriented millennials, Gen Z object to words ‘convert' and ‘winning souls’ in outreach Teens and young adult Christians do not like to use certain words, including “converts” and “winning souls,” while talking about the reasons behind sharing their faith with others, a study has found.

For example, 35% of young adults and 38% of teens said the word “convert” tops the list of objectionable mission-related words for them.

30 K-12 edtech predictions for 2021 When we posted our 2020 predictions on January 1 last year, we–along with the majority of the world–definitely didn’t anticipate the curveball that was (and continues to be) the global COVID-19 pandemic. 2020 has been called a dumpster fire, the worst year in recent memory, and more. Abrupt shifts to virtual and hybrid learning laid bare the vast inequities that exist in the U.S. education system. Top EdTech Trends for The Year 2021 There have been numerous innovations in the field of education technology, also known as EdTech, which paved way for a complete transformation of the way education would be imparted to students. Some of these innovative technologies include artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, virtual classrooms, cloud-based education, one-on-one learning (personalized learning), and many more. Education is now no longer restricted to a traditional classroom-based environment. Technology has enabled education to reach students located across the globe, without the need for being physically present in a classroom. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, EdTech innovations have revolutionized the education sector. These technologies have ensured continuity of education to students in the period when the world went into a complete lockdown.
