Introduction

Big data is now widely used in a variety of fields and is even more indispensable in the field of education. Thousands of students enroll in a number of courses in several colleges every year. As a result, a lot of data is generated. The education student data system consists of course details, registration year, student ID, test scores, and scores for each subject. These data not only help teachers understand students' learning process more quickly, but also facilitate teachers to provide students with a more complete learning plan.

1. Enhancing Student Results

The most common method of analyzing student performance is based on their achievements in exams, projects, and assignments. But all these grades can be accumulated to observe the unique data trajectory left by students throughout their lives. We can learn that how long did the student takes for this kind of question or which type of question did the student skip. Knowing these data teachers can accurately give them suggestions.

2. A better Grading System

Big data can help educators track students' performance. This analysis helps to understand performance at the individual and collective levels. Statistical analysis of each grade will help educators understand which areas are students interest in. The scoring system can be enhanced to highlight key areas that students are good at.

3. Gaining Attention

Experts are trying to apply students' biometrics in the class, such as heart rate, facial expressions, and objects they touch during the lecture. Through the camera on the ceiling or smartwatch, the teacher can adjust the speed of the class in time.

4. Customized Programs

Teachers can classify classes based on understanding students’ learning level and concentration in class, so as to improve the overall learning efficiency.

5. Reducing The Number of Dropouts

Through the prediction of big data, we can find out whether a student's future direction includes the possibility of dropping out of school. In this case, the teacher can give some recommendations immediately, guiding students to the courses that are suitable for them.

    Actually, I have done the similar topic as yours, something about big data and education, but I did it earlier than you, the article that I found is: What is the use of Big Data. So after reading yours’ I agree with these five advantages for education, but there is still some concerns too. And probably have not find the solution yet, like how to regulate something like that. The ethics problem and so on. Perhaps you can visit my blogger to check out what I wrote. I wrote both advantages and disadvantages side, I think in the meanwhile, by understanding the impacts that bid data may influence education field, you also have to know the downside, the potential through applying big data to education and what will we face in the future. I think that is why till nowadays we, the school or even education field have not apply it yet. It is not really normal to see in our daily life. From my opinion, big data brings accuracy and lots more figures to educators, that is true, whereas it still remains some problems that should be fixed. It is really such an improvement however lacking proper treatment and protection, the development of big data should gradually lead to our trust. Maybe it will take a long time to develop and we will not experience it, our next generation or even the following generation will experience it, and that is the day it will appear and widely use in global.

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...
