WHAT I CAN DO

Based on your observation of the current trend of media, predict one

innovation in the field of education in the near future. Describe it 3-
5 sentences.

Based on my observation of the current media, one innovation in the

field of education soon is the delivery of learning because of the
advent of new technologies and the internet. The delivery of the
learning will utilize the TV, radio, and social media platforms. In fact,
it is already happening today, but it is only an alternative because we
are in a pandemic. However, I believe that in the future, it will not be
an alternative anymore, and it will be added as a part of the education
system forever.
