Education Technology
The ability to utilize technology in order to engage and expose students to teaching and learning that is ETHICAL, meaningful, SAFE and more tailored to fit their generation
Today’s Learner
Today's learner is bored at school. They need more stimulation. Generally, this is a world that that surrounds students with stimulating information and entertainment that involves some form of technology. Then with they get to school that is usually not the case. Even in the poorest of homes there is at the least a television. Other have even more like video games, computers e-learners and etc.
The Reality of EdTech
Teachers that are teaching 21st century students are not 21st century teachers it makes the connection and communication more difficult at times. Students don’t always find the teacher engaging and the teacher can’t understand why it’s so hard for the student to pay attention
The other reality is that depending on the economic status and social situation there may minimal technological contact and the same goes for those schools and districts that may be budget strapped.
Potential Impact
Teacher becomes more of a facilitator and the students learn to work in a more collaborative fashion. Students become more motivated. Their technology skills become more enhanced.
