Developments and İmprovements in School
Education has always been the basic structure of states and has developed in all ages. These developments are aimed at facilitating the school life of the students and providing comfort. Traditional education methods have been left behind and a form of education has been adopted that is intertwined with technology. In the traditional understanding of education, students who study in a school surrounded by four walls, a chalkboard and a chalkboard continue their education in schools equipped with the requirements of the information age today.
Instead of chalkboards, smart boards have been introduced and internet access has been provided in schools with these smart boards. This innovation has increased the choice of resources and materials in schools and the ease of access to them. Thanks to these smartboards, teachers can support their lessons with various resources and videos and make presentations.
In the past, students were waiting for the report card day to grades grades, but today, thanks to the e-school, students can access not only their report card grades, but also many information such as absence information and rights they have very easily with a single click.
In the old days, students had to be content with textbooks distributed by the MEB to them. Nowadays, thanks to the Eba, students can access information from various sources at any time, watch various educational videos, share their own developed projects with other students at their school.

I have written an essay on changes in school life. I hope you will enjoy it while reading:)
Changes in School Life
School Life has been changing for years especially since 1940s. For example, coursebooks and notebooks have replaced with tablets and laptops. Chalkboards used to be used in the classeooms in the past but we use smartboards or whiteboards in our classes now. It was not easy to reach information in the past so teachers, libraries and encylopedias were only sources of informarion. However, internet is the best and the easiest way to reach all kinds of information in today’s world, despide the disinformation on the net.
School Life will continue to change in the future. I think self education will be more popular in the future. Flipped classroom and online classes and virtual classes will also be more popular as we experiended due to the locked down on pandemic days.

Developments and Improvements In School Life

Many things have evolved and changed in education. But I want to tell you about a few of them. If we look superficially, the educational tools, the way of education, schools have changed. But if we examine it in detail:

1-    There used to be chalkboards in classrooms, but nowadays there are whiteboards and smartboards. So, teachers can teach on slides, open a video about the lesson or open a pdf of our book thus we can understand the lesson more easily.

2-    Today in Turkey, thanks to EBA, we can access lecture videos, tests, exams, from the internet and our teachers can also give online assignments. So we can access our assignments from our phone.

3-    Before Covid-19, we studied face-to-face but when schools were closed because of Covid-19 we started online education. So, platforms where we can teach online have been created and it has become easier to teach online. For example, "EBA TV" channel was opened in Turkey because of Covid-19 and "Canlı Ders" was created, where we can conduct online lessons.

4-    There is more study on software in schools. For example, with artificial intelligence, robotic coding, electric vehicle models, 3D printers...

5-    Today, there are "new generation questions" in test books. Thus, we can reason about the subjects we have learned and we encounter examples from daily life.

Team B - Developments and improvements in transportation - Mentor Teacher Barış Merttürk

Elif KRB from Gazi Anatolian High School/ My essay on Transportation
Transportation has always had an important role in our lives from the beginning of human being to have an interaction and interconnection between people. According to the needs of human being, it needs to be developed.
İn the past, transportation used to be slower and harder. Because people were carrying their goods on their heads, their backs or run on the ground. Human being used animals to transport goods in 5000 BC. After 3000 BC, the vehicles were invented. They were made up of four wheels without an engine. Inventors invented the steam engines in 18th and steam-powered vehicles and trains. So transportaion became faster and more comfortable. Inventions of boats and planes also enabled people more efficient transportation. İn my opinion, transportation will be faster and more economical as the natural resources are limited and time and speed are very important for all of us.

The development of transportation systems takes place in a socioeconomic context. Because of its intensive use of infrastructures, the transport sector is an important component of the economy and a common tool used for development. A relation between the quantity and quality of transport infrastructure and the level of economic development is apparent. High-density transport infrastructure and highly connected networks are commonly associated with high levels of development. When transport systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multiplier effects such as better accessibility to markets, employment, and additional investments. When transport systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have an economic cost such as reduced or missed opportunities and lower quality of life.
Construction of roads, canals, and railroads led to the expansion of markets, facilitated the movement of peoples, and altered the physical landscape.
The simplest means of river transport were rafts, but they were unstable, and rapids especially posed a serious danger. Real improvement, however, came with the keelboat. Two‐way river transportation came with the invention of the steamboat, or riverboat.
Roads. Although road building was the earliest sign of the impending transportation revolution, it was not an important factor in economic development prior to the Civil War. roads throughout the country were often narrow and un‐paved, muddy in wet weather and dusty in dry. Moving freight by road was expensive and slow. Roads between towns were often neglected after the railroad arrived, and only the use of the automobile in the twentieth century created the public demand for a modern highway system.
