How Covid-19 changed American education ,over the last 4 years we have seen some of the biggest shifts in education that we have ever seen before. With the panademic of COVID-19 our schools,work places, and country as a whole had to change the way we approached everyday. Anywhere you look you can see a change that was made that directly goes back to the effects of COVID-19. Perhaps no bigger shift than the one that came in education. Which leads me to ask the question, what is the future of education?
As a student that was through my highschool education before covid hit much of my education never changed. There was a comfort in knowing the process and typical layout of the traditional classrooom. As far as tehnology goes the biggest change I can think of is when promethean boards got added into all the classrooms. Realistically this wasn't a dramatic change from the typical white board with a projector and was very beneficial with new opportunities for teachers.
Post covid however in college I have experienced a whole new environment of school. We now have the access and opportunities to take class from anywhere. Not only did this help keep education from being on pause during the panademic but think of the stepping stone it laid out for the future of education. We now know that in a large part of the United States we can use remote learning for a variety of different reasons or have students that can be fully remote. It is important to see the benefits of this time and how it can help us advance the ways we can help our students develop for their future. However we don't need to forget about the rural areas where this access isn't readily available or where students need extra help in catching up in a technology based environment. The future of education truly has no ceiling that is exciting to chase but as educators we still have to find what is beneficial or detrimental to our classroom.
