Reports state that there will be a compound annual growth rate of 14% in use of gamification in education in another three years. It means the market worth of gamification will be $25.7 billion in 2025, which is $12.3 billion more than the current worth.

In simple words, online educational games will continue to exist in the future of education, in more advanced versions.

So does edutainment, which is expected to have a market value of approximately $8.1 Billion by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 16%.

Why Edutainment?

Edutainment focuses on both educational and personal development of learners by ensuring that the learning process includes aspects, such as collaboration, communication, creativity, etc.

The average attention span of students last from few minutes to few hours based on age. You might have seen or experienced how the attention of students tends to shift during lectures and many end up finding classes to be “too boring.” That is where edutainment lives up to its name. Edutainment imparts learning without even the students being aware of it since their focus will be more on the fun factor.

Every student is different. The traditional method of learning, most of the time, fails to cater to the requirements of people with learning difficulties. There are many instances where they might not get the extra attention they badly need. Edutainment, on the other hand, encourages personalised learning that allows them to learn at their own pace, while giving them a better understanding of the areas they need improvement in.

Apart from all these advantages, edutainment has much more to offer, making it an economical and intelligent choice, as a method of learning.

Why is Edtech Popular?

There are several reasons for the sudden boom in edtech industry.

Edtech is the new normal

When the pandemic started and changes in the education field in order to ensure uninterrupted learning had become a necessity, even educators that opposed the use of technology in education could not help, but comply.

Since then, technology has had a permanent role in education and its role has only stepped up with time. From learning management systems and similar technology for school management even before the pandemic to applications that support learning, edtech has now become main stream.

Educators are in support of edtech

Many educators, who were used to traditional learning settings, struggled with edtech in the beginning. Though some still refuse to acknowledge it, there are many who agree that edtech already had a role in learning even before the pandemic happened.

There were speculations in the beginning that edtech would replace educators. But when use of edtech became prominent, educators began to see how edtech helped them to fill the learning gaps and guide the students

Instead of taking full control of the learning process, technology has helped to reduce the burden of educators while encourage students to self-learn, while building qualities like responsibility and determination in the process.

Learning and technology innovations go hand in hand

When the field of education started adapting to the pandemic-related changes, more than going with the situation, it was an actual realisation that the field really needed a revamp. Classroom learning had its own limitations and sometimes, left a huge gap when it came to things like inclusiveness and adaptive learning.

Including technology in learning in a prominent manner has given a greater purpose to education than just learning the lessons from the textbooks. It teaches students to realise their strengths and weaknesses, get creative, to communicate and so on.

However, too much of anything is not good. So is technology. Though they struggled in the beginning, education providers and educators have managed to create a balance between learning and technology over the years. They have adopted edtech and combined it with traditional way of learning to fill in the gaps either methods have.

In the future, things might go back to how they were before. Classroom learning might make a comeback, but, surely, it will not take the shine off edtech. Students can resort to both methods to make learning easier and comprehensive, and it can help reduce the burden for educators.

So, edtech will continue to stay as it does now, with many more companies coming up with further advanced technology backing up the education industry in the future.

Some mangas and anime brings out the creative side in them and enables them to think out of the box in real life situations. Here we can have a look at some of the important educational benefits of watching anime series or movies.

1. Learn More About Novel Areas:  Student life is the phase when they start learning about new things and explore new ideas in life. These movies teaches students about areas which they might not come across in their academic syllabus but are useful for them at some point in their life. For example, they can learn about mental health conditions such as PTSD if they watch School Live and Narcolepsy if they watch Little Busters. Many elements that are projected in some anime movies may seem interesting at present but are valuable or useful later in life.

2. Can Learn Real Life Lessons: Having a good understanding about the real life situations well in advance confers students with the ability of proper decision making . Knowing how the heroes have overcome hardships in life help them to think out of the box,save the situations and grow successful. Even the comedy series are more subtle if you check the element of conveying real life lessons. Anime series including My Hero Academia, A Silent Voice and Orange are popular in terms of teaching real life lessons. These series enable students to learn to respect their parents and be thankful and avoid bullying others and most importantly to get rid of their arrogance.

3. Increased Social Interaction: The modern society have witnessed that many of the students are turned to introverts. However, the influence of anime movies has made a noticeable impact on increasing their interaction and they start behaving more social. Kids of working parents can avoid boredom and the depression of being alone in their free time by watching anime movies. This not only takes off their pressure of loneliness but also gives them a feeling of happiness. They can also get connected to other students who watch anime and thus make new friends.

4. Learn About Value Of Relationships: In today’s world, we have seen that the relationships have started losing its value. However, many good anime movies have projected the importance of relationships and the love for anime has persuaded students to keep up such values in their life.. Hopefully, such anime series can help students to understand the value of relationships in life and inspires them to give out some effort to maintain them. 

5. Understand Moral Values In Life: One of the most important benefits of watching anime movies is learning about keeping up moral values in life. The series such as Haikyuu teaches students about the importance of teamwork in getting things done and why they are crucial in achieving success. DBZ is a popular series that inspires students to come out of the limits, push oneself up, keep on practising, set goals and do enough hard work while chasing dreams. The New Game anime series teaches and inspires students about undergoing struggles to achieve what they want in life and to overcome the troubles of starting as a beginner. They also learn other human values such as righteousness, generosity, honesty, courage and patience.

6. Improved Interest In Culture And Language: It is quite common for students to have least interest in the country’s culture as they prefer fun elements. Surprisingly, anime movies are a good option for them to learn more about the Japanese culture in an entertaining fashion. They slowly start having interest in learning more about the culture and related areas. Even if the extent of understanding might be very little, having some sorts of insights into the culture can help them to grow closer to the culture. Also as these movies are made with Japanese audio clips, they can learn the Japanese language a little more easily and get more fluent with it pretty quickly. The students who are born or brought up outside the country can keep in touch with the culture.

7. Improves Creativity And Critical Thinking: This form of storytelling can enhance their creativity and students can start exploring their creative side along with excelling in academics. This improves their drawing skills that help them to start exploring the areas of animation and architecture. Those students who are truly inspired even start designing their own anime characters and develop their own mangas. In fact, this is a good alternative for kids’ stories as this is a form of imaginative story telling.

Parents do realise that the educational value of anime is immense. Watching anime is not always all about fun but the best part is about its learning possibilities. Apart from these benefits, watching anime can teach students about the importance of proper communication.

Like every other areas, anime addiction can have some negatives if kids tend to copy only the hatred or trouble making aspects of anime. Parents have to keep a check on the types of anime being watched by the kids and help them to sort out the suitable ones. If they make watching anime with educational values a part of their routine, parents can find it easy to mould their character right from the childhood.

Stephen William Hawking was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who always inspired people by the way he perceived and lived his life. He left the world leaving behind all his contributions to Science in March 14, 2018.

He fought life all through his hardship journey and he was holding the role of director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death.

Even when his demise caused a huge emptiness in the world of science, his awesome inspiring quotes are more than enough for a youngster to fight life and live it beautiful.

His quotes are not just limited to the world of science but cover a range of inspiring thoughts that has touched many aspects of life.

Here let us go through some of amazing Stephan Hawking Quotes on love, hope, determination, curiosity, adaptation and a lot more.

1. “As quoted in his book, ‘A Brief History of Time’, “We are very very small. But we are profoundly capable of very very big things.”

2. Mentioning the insatiable curiosity and belief, he said at Sydney Opera House “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.”

3. In his renowned book, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, he said “I have noticed that even people, who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”

4. Talking about the importance of human potential, he told a German paper Der Spiegel in 1988 “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”

5. During an Oxford University Union speech in 2016, he told “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.”

6. As quoted in his book, ‘A Brief History of Time’, “Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.”

7. While addressing an event honouring the 50th anniversary of NASA at George Washington University in 2008, he told “Primitive life is relatively common, but that intelligent life is very rare. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth,”

8. Talking about his passion for the subject, he told PARADE magazine in 2010 “Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion,”

9. Talking to ABC News in June 2010, he told “There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works.”

10. When asked about how he kept his spirits up after diagnosed with ALS, he said “My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus”….“Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.”

14. As quoted in People’s Daily Online (14 June 2006), “The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.”

15. “For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind’s greatest achievements have come about by talking and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn’t have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.”, he said in a British Telecom advertisement (1993).

18. In his book about theoretical physics, The Universe in a Nutshell ( 2001), he said “It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. It’s a crazy world out there. Be curious.”

25. On account of the dangers posed by climate change, he told in an interview with The Telegraph in 2011 “I don’t think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.

28. He told during his Oxford University graduation “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”

29. “Black holes aren’t as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. Things can get out of a black hole both on the outside and possibly to another universe. So if you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up — there’s a way out.” he said during a lecture at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm

30. As quoted in his book, ‘A Brief History of Time’, “There could be whole anti-worlds and anti-people made out of antiparticles. However, if you meet your anti-self, don’t shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light.”

A game of chess is a good way to foster mental agility while you are introduced to different alternatives that will either help you score more or lose.

  1. Promises The Best of Both the Worlds

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! So true to this adage, if learning and playing are laid side by side, no student will look at education as a boring and tedious mode of assimilating knowledge. Undoubtedly, education and entertainment are two different paths, but they are not the ones that do not intersect. They are not parallel roads but can overlap. And when they do overlap, the result is there for everyone to watch and enjoy. You can enjoy the best of both the worlds through edutainment which promises profound learning through rich and fun-filled experiences.
