Between 2010 and 2012, educational technology shifted toward mobility and accessibility. Tablets allowed students to interact with content through touch based learning, while platforms like Khan Academy made instructional videos widely available. This marked a move away from computer labs toward everyday classroom technology, giving students more personalized and flexible learning experiences. -
This phase emphasized organization, efficiency, and collaboration. Learning Management Systems allowed teachers to distribute assignments, provide feedback, and manage coursework digitally. Cloud based tools made learning more collaborative and reduced reliance on paper, helping teachers streamline instruction and students stay organized. -
From 2016 to 2018, educational technology focused on personalization. Tools like ClassDojo helped teachers track behavior, encourage engagement, and communicate with families, while adaptive learning programs adjusted content based on student progress. Technology was increasingly used to meet individual student needs rather than deliver one size fits all instruction. -
By 2020, educational technology became essential rather than optional. Remote learning tools allowed schools to continue instruction during quarantine. Video conferencing platforms enabled live interaction between teachers and students, while digital platforms supported assignment submission, collaboration, and communication at a distance.
