Learning is Fun and Interactive with InstaGrok
Given the importance of education in human development and how much time and effort we dedicate to it throughout our lives, it is no surprise that there a large number of companies focused on learning and plenty of technological advancements geared toward it. It is also no surprise that there are numerous apps focused on education. One of these is instaGrok, an app that essentially combines the elements of research, organization, interaction and learning engagement between students, their peers and their teachers in various learning exercises and projects. In its creators’ words, instaGrok is an innovative educational search engine that combines sophisticated linguistics and language technology with an interactive user interface to make learning more engaging, personalized and fun for everyone.
The goal of instaGrok is “to help everyone discover the joy of learning and empower them to be lifelong learners,” and it accomplishes this by using a few innovative features and allowing for more fun and engagement in school projects. Students research any topic with an interactive “concept map” that they can customize and share. It looks a bit like a brainstorming project, very different from typical research tools that can overwhelm students with text and sometimes even irrelevant content. With the app, users can view any topic to get the most important concepts, facts and relationships on that topic by viewing fact bubbles on the main points rather than less important information, each one linking to websites they can visit as well as photos and videos right on the page. It includes resources to allow students to evaluate sources and collect evidence before writing a report. Users can access the app from any computer, whether at school or at home, but it does feature mobile tech support for any iOS or Android device.
InstaGrok uses the latest technology to find the best resources, identify key concepts and facts, organize materials by difficulty, and generate quiz questions. This makes it an incredibly useful tool for teachers in the classroom as well as students. It is helpful as an educational resource because it makes learning more fun and interactive, taking some of the burden of lecturing off teachers. It challenges students to go beyond basic research to engage in critical thinking about what they study. Beyond the classroom, the implications in journalism and related fields become obvious. Users only need to remember the importance of good computer support in order to make the most of instaGrok’s innovation.
We spend years of our lives in classrooms getting the education we need for our futures, and education is a continually evolving field with different technologies constantly introduced to curriculums. With instaGrok, there is now a more fun, engaging and interactive way to help students perform more thorough research and improve their learning.
