1 Technology & Software Technology and software share knowledge with students directly.

Software can be used to help with writing essays or solving math problems, allowing them to learn faster and better than teachers can aid with.

2 Gamification

Gamification is poised to have a bigger impact than the internet did.

Video games are more engaging and effective at teaching than traditional methods, but it is important to start using them as learning tools.
