The computer and the internet's evolution these
past few years have been staggeringly fast. A
computer that used to fill an entire building in 1965
has about the same computing power as a modern-day
cellphone.

3. Trends in K to 12 Education System
Most of the popular forms of media like TV,
radio, and print are slowly being nudged from their
pedestal by the internet. Everything seems to have
changed drastically these couple of years, and this
includes the K-12 education system.

Some say that this change has been a long time
coming. There is an analogy that uses fairy tale
character Rip van Winkle to describe this; Rip van
Winkle has just woken up from his hundred year
slumber and stares in amazement about how much
everything has changed in the time

that he was asleep, he almost did not recognize
anything, until he went into a classroom. Rip van
Winkle recognized immediately that it was a
classroom because nothing much has changed in the
K-12 educational system since he fell asleep in 1906.

6. Trends in K to 12 Education System
Thankfully, educators are starting to change with
the times. The trend in K-12 education these days is
that learning institutions should try their best to keep
up with the recent advances in technology to better
teach their students.

7. Here are some of the more popular
trends in K-12 education today:

8. 1. The Use of the Internet and Social Media as a Teaching Tool
All students these days know how to use a
computer and the internet, and most of them are
using social media networks to share their thoughts
and to support each other.

9. Educators these days know how to harness the
power of the internet and social media to get in touch
with their students, and hear their thoughts.

10. 2. How the Condition of Educational Facilities Affect Performance
Basically the better the building's condition, the
better the students and their teachers perform. There
was a survey done with different schools in the US
as subjects, they sought to find out just how much of
an impact a school building's condition and facilities
affect the students and teachers.

11. 2. How the Condition of Educational Facilities Affect Performance
Some results point out that better facilities led to
less truancy, smoking, and substance abuse in the
students.

12. 2. How the Condition of Educational Facilities Affect Performance
It was also determined that with better school
buildings test scores rose up significantly. And even
the behavior of the teachers and how well they
instruct their students seem to increase along with
improvements in the school.

13. 3. Students Teaching Teachers
Students perform better when they have the
opportunity to tell their teachers what things in the
classroom needs improvement.

14. 3. Students Teaching Teachers
Contrary to the old belief that students are too
young to know what they need, K-12 education
systems now give the students the opportunity to give
pointers to their teachers on how they can better
deliver their lessons so that the students can
understand.

15. 3. Students Teaching Teachers
It was also found that giving the students the
chance in contributing and even revising the
classroom rules actually make the students abide to
them; it gives them the feeling that they actually have
a say on what goes in the classroom.

16. 3. Students Teaching Teachers
Students tend to follow the class rules now since
they had a role in making the rules and regulations.

17. 4. Paying Close Attention to Each Students' Needs
Educators are not looking at their class as a
collective; they see them as different individuals with
different needs, which is why some students lag
behind the others when it comes to the lectures.
Educators can help these students keep up by giving
them personalized attention.

18. These are just some of the recent trends in the K-
12 education system. These are promising signs that
show the educational system in the country is
improving and no longer stagnant.
