Schools are very different from when my parents went to school, when my parents went to school, and now, when my daughter goes to school. The differences in technology alone are striking.
When my daughter was 3 years old, she could navigate the iPhone better than me. This is how her generation was brought up. Kids these days can open apps, play music, and change the background on their phone. There are many reasons for this.
Technology is easier and cheaper to obtain than 30 years ago.
Kids are given old phones when parents get new ones, and these gaming phones are still smarter than the phones I used mostly as a kid. Than the social networking world was before (or at least at least). Parents do not feel safe when they send their children outside to play, even in the backyard. In the summer, my parents played all over the city from dawn to dusk, no cell phones, and barely checked at home.
Sometimes my grandparents were at work, so the children were sent off looking for something to do until one of them returned home for the day. Now our children cannot play in their fenced-in yard without fear of being kidnapped.
According to Martin Armstrong, a survey was conducted to find out where children spend more of their free time. It said that on a typical week, children “spent 18.6 hours playing on-screen.” Therefore, these days, children play at home, in their home, on the iPad, on console game systems, on their smartphones.
Even if the child does not have such electronics at home, they are becoming more and more technological. My kid’s school gives out every Chromebook in kindergarten. This is where kids who don’t know how to use technology are quick to learn at school, and once they’re in 2nd grade, they can take said Chromebooks home. (Armstrong, 2017).
One thing that will greatly help our schools reach their full potential is virtualization.
There are a huge number of advantages to virtualization and very few disadvantages. We learn more about this all the time, and new updates and ideas are pondered every day. Technology is an ever-changing market.
One of the benefits of virtualization is better security. Cyber threats have become such a serious problem over the past 10 years. They started offering scholarships, and high schools started teaching schools about cybersecurity in an effort to minimize threats by educating people about these organizations and raising interest. (Konak, 2018)
Another proven benefit of virtualization is its cost effectiveness.
There are different ways to implement virtualization in a K-12 school environment. There are a few other things that could be done in schools, such as data centers and computers in general classrooms.
