Certain words have been printed in <strong>bold<\/strong> to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thinking of what education might look like in the next decade, one quickly realizes that the trends in technology are leaving a large number of our students behind. Today is an age of exponential change. New and ever-improving technologies are popping up every day and in every corner of society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Take Oliveboard\u2019s Free English\u00a0Language Test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Educating the best and the brightest in this brave new world will take a new and improved educational <strong>paradigm<\/strong>. Allowing our educational tools to age in the corner of the classroom will be the mistake that may cost us our future. Throwing away masses of children to <strong>inequitable<\/strong> access will ensure that we <strong>languish<\/strong> at the bottom of the global pool of employable workers for decades to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Technology will shape 1 be way we educate students in the next decade. A user is not simply a person who uses. For the student, being a user should involve using the latest technology in a free and <strong>autonomous<\/strong> manner. This new-found freedom will allow the student to become an active participant in his\/her education instead of a passive passenger. In our current technological society, being a user also means being tracked. Tracking a student means having the ability to target education towards weaknesses and strengths. The ability to accurately customize curricula to the individual has been the holy grail of educational philosophy for many years. This golden age of technological development may soon enable this dream to become a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Take Oliveboard\u2019s Free English\u00a0Language Test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Current educational curricula and individual assessment is <strong>arbitrary<\/strong> at best. Accurately assessing a student can only be achieved by using modern tracking and database technologies. Imagine a world where every child has a tablet computer with ready access to the internet. Further, imagine that every student can access all the knowledge of humankind freely at any moment in time. Continue to imagine a world where a misspelled word brings up a spelling challenge application instead of an auto correction. Try to contemplate what it would mean for a teacher to have a database of every misspelled word, every misunderstood concept or every missed, equation for each of their students. Try to envision a teacher with the ability to customize the experience of the individual &#8220;user&#8221; with minimal effort. Imagine the curriculum being automatically targeted to the user through an intuitive educational platform that knows all strengths and each unique weakness. In the last few hundred years, most individuals would consider an education as something you receive. You often hear the question asked, &#8220;Where did you receive your education?&#8221; As we proceed through the next decade, education will slowly move away from reception and toward being custom designed for the individual user. New technology will not only allow us to receive an education, but also develop an education. The question we might ask in ten years, &#8220;How did you develop your education?&#8221; The question of where will still be important, but the how of the matter will be the focus that defines the individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">For more Reading Comprehension Quiz,<\/span><strong>Take Oliveboard\u2019s Free RC Test Here<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To make this a reality we will need a standardized platform from which to develop a student&#8217;s unique education. This standardized platform will allow us to tailor a custom curriculum that will be matched to talents, interests and life goals. For the educator, a standardized platform will create a way to assist the student in discovering a true purpose in life through a unique educational experience. The basics of reading, writing and arithmetic will not be taught as much as they will be discovered and used. Learning will become a <strong>reciprocal<\/strong> experience between the teacher, the student and the machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Under a standardized platform, each of these three participants will have a role to play. The teacher will be the facilitator, assisting the development of the curriculum and inspiring the direction the student takes. The student will be the user, gathering resources, skills and knowledge in an efficient and measured sequence. The machine will do the work of data gathering and analysis, which will assist the teacher and student in refining the curriculum. This data gathering work of the machine will also free the teacher from the burden of record-keeping and tedious tasks that currently distract from the real job of teaching and learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">For more Reading Comprehension Quiz,<strong>Take Oliveboard\u2019s Free RC Test Here<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Under a standardized system, grade level will be far less important. Achievement and progression will be measured by accomplishment and intelligence as a benchmark for success. The question of failure or success will be irrelevant and replaced with a standard and consistent measurement of potential and overall intelligence. Information will no longer be missed but continually rehearsed and monitored for retention by the machine. Tasks such as data tracking, reporting and record keeping are currently accomplished manually. These tasks could easily be delegated to an intuitive database. Developing a standard to follow would eliminate these tasks and free the teacher to do their main job of teaching students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The next decade may mark the moment in history when all are granted equal access to technology. Access to quality education will only be gained through investment and universal standardization of this technology. If we continue to divert wealth towards fruitless goals and corporate greed, this opportunity will be lost or hopelessly delayed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">For more Reading Comprehension Quiz,<strong>Take Oliveboard\u2019s Free RC Test Here<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to the author, which of the following will be the benefit(s) of introducing a standardized technological platform?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(A) Potential of a child will take precedence over the grades he\/she scores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(B) Improving the educational syllabus would become easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(C) Teachers would be able to devote more time to teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(1) Only(C)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(2) All (A).
