When we have talked to you about the evolution that the tablet sector can follow, we have commented that education is being one of the manufacturers' refuges, since little by little we are witnessing a greater offer of devices focused on the classroom and millions of students and teachers around the world. However, these are not the only efforts we are seeing in the leap to digitization.
Applications that try to improve academic results while offering more personalized learning try to gain a foothold in catalogs and audiences. This could be the case with Socratic, of which we will tell you more about it below. Do you prefer traditional learning methods or do you think that tools like this can be useful?
Operation
Socratic's idea is simple: Through the camera of the terminals, we take a photo of the notes of science or math about which we have doubts. The artificial intelligence of the platform will then offer either a detailed explanation of the contents, or on the other hand, the steps to follow to solve the problems and equations that we want to solve. Its developers assure that this tool offers a solution to millions of operations.
Customization
Designed mainly for high school students, this platform would not only contain the elements that we have mentioned before, but it would also link to several educational channels from the Internet both from institutions and private teachers that in theory, would help to deepen the knowledge and assimilate it better. With the latest updates, the branches of knowledge it supports have expanded to include biology and history as well.
Free?
Socratic does not have no cost initial. Launched a few weeks ago, it is available in Spanish, French, German and English among other languages. At the moment he is heading towards the 500.000 users And, despite the fact that its creators assure that it does not require integrated purchases, it has received some criticism in aspects such as the audiences it is aimed at and a search for results that can sometimes be tedious.
