BIG DATA AND EDUCATION: HELP OR HARM?

Why big data called “big”? because its data processing ability is more stronger compare to the traditional data.
Although big data is more sophisticated and it cannot let traditional one take over the data. Because of this feature, big data can analyze such a large amount of information and brings many opportunities.
According to the article"Big data has brought significant changes to many aspects of education. According to a study, published by the Publications Office of the European Union, the most significant change brought by the big data to education, is the ability to monitor educational systems."

According to the article” Students create a lot of data information per day. Through the   Social Network Adapting Pedagogical Practice (SNAPP) into the teaching process, studying students’ blogs, and measuring how much they are interested in a specific course.” Big data has achieved a learning management system in education. He allows teachers to create assignments through system automation
Spending time tracking students ’daily social circles helps improve students’ learning

The large amount of numbers makes it difficult to handle big data. Educational systems still lack proper software to manage large amounts of data. Therefore, it is difficult for educators and students to learn from big data
The other is an ethical issue, which involves personal privacy. For example, the above errors in using the system may cause a large number of individuals to be exposed on the Internet

The achievement of the big data on education is the creation of a learning management system. It allows teachers to use automated information online to create assignments and send information.

    The blog focuses on big data in education and it provides video which makes me understand more about big data. In addition, the blog gives information regarding the global internet population growth from the year 2012-2017. Moreover, the blog explains five main components of big data which are volume, velocity, variety, veracity and variability.

    Additionally, it suggests that big data has several advantages on educational systems. Teachers can adopt big data into their teaching process. Also, it can help measuring mistakes from students' tests. Besides, it helps creating learning management system. Furthermore, it provides information about the risks when using big data such as lack of internet use competencies, difficult-to-process data and software failure.

    After all, big data still benefits students and teachers. However, it is very important to consider the disadvantages of using big data which can cause negative impact to education system.

    Great share Gimmy! According to reports, we generate more than 250 million data per day on average. A large portion of this data belongs to the most active Internet users, including schools and college students. When searching, processing and using information online, they left digital breadcrumbs that became part of the big data collected every day. As a result, these data affect education, change education, and bring pros and cons. However, before we discuss the good and the bad, let us first clarify what big data is. However, the biggest problem is the moral issue, which involves the misuse of personal information. For example, the above errors using the SNAPP system may lead to a large amount of personal data leakage. Due to lack of proper processing and protection, personal information stored in data centers and used for analytical purposes may still be misused. As the risk of data theft increases, this issue is undoubtedly yet to be resolved. Although big data has obvious benefits for the education system, it still has many shortcomings, which are related to the lack of technology for processing and using technology. However, these shortcomings themselves bring a lot of data that can be learned. Actually after reading all kinds of article, I found out that big data has a strong connect with IoT or like marketing, I think if we use it in appropriate way and it will be a great tool for us.

How Big Data Can Boost Weather Forecasting

張岳庭 D0741017 Source:  https://www.wired.com/insights/2013/02/how-big-data-can-boost-weather-forecasting/ Considering the number of variables involved and the complex interactions between these variables, weather forecasting has always been extremely challenging. The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year. According to the professor of economics and finance , Alan Anderson, PhD , “Example of an application of big data to weather forecasting is IBM’s Deep Thunder. Unlike many weather forecasting systems...
