School in the Cloud ☁️

The pandemic accelerated 'Remote Learning'. Tools like Zoom and Google Classroom became the norm. Now, 'EdTech' (Educational Technology) is booming.

  • MOOCs: Massive Open Online Courses (Coursera, Udemy) allow anyone to learn from Harvard professors for cheap.
  • Gamification: Apps like Duolingo make learning addictive using game points (Streaks, XP).
  • Personalization: AI tutors adapt to the student's pace, explaining things differently if they don't understand.

However, the 'Digital Divide' means poor students without fast internet get left behind. And social skills suffer when kids don't interact in person.
