Transforming Catholic Education: Partnership Between Ed Tech Advisors and The Speak App
Catholic education is taking a major step forward in technological innovation with the recent partnership between Ed Tech Advisors and The Speak App. This collaboration, part of the strategy led by OIEC (International Catholic Education Office), seeks to integrate advanced technology into the classrooms of more than 210,000 schools in 110 countries. It is a commitment to an inclusive, personalized education aligned with Papa Francis’ Global Education Pact, which promotes comprehensive education adapted to current needs.
Within this initiative, The Speak App stands out as a key tool. It aims to develop and strengthen K12 students’ communication skills using virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), two technologies that transform the way students learn and practice essential competencies. The application allows students to experience simulated communication scenarios, where they can improve their ability to express themselves effectively, a crucial skill in the globalized world.
For teachers, this tool represents an opportunity to accompany their students’ development with a more dynamic and motivating approach. Thanks to VR and AI, students can interact in controlled environments that replicate real-life situations, adapting to their level of proficiency and pace of learning, allowing for a personalized experience.
The collaboration with Ed Tech Advisors goes beyond simple technology integration; it is a partnership that facilitates the adoption of tools designed specifically for the Catholic educational environment, respecting its values and focusing on the holistic growth of students. As a preferred provider of the OIEC, Ed Tech Advisors is committed to offering solutions such as The Speak App along with other state-of-the-art applications such as Dide.org for early detection of learning difficulties and Singularity Experts for vocational guidance, among others.
The impact of these innovations promises to be profound. Technology will enable Catholic institutions not only to improve teaching and learning, but also to foster education that is more inclusive, accessible and attuned to the challenges of the 21st century. This approach transforms classrooms into spaces where students can reach their full potential and develop skills that prepare them for a globalized and digitized future.
Thus, the partnership between Ed Tech Advisors and The Speak App marks a milestone in the move towards a cutting-edge Catholic education, ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
