Six emerging technologies in education

4/14/2015

 

Clouding

Using web-based tools, students and educators can collaborate online. One of the biggest attractions of cloud computing is that it is saving schools money and resources. (i.e. paper, ink, books)

Open Content

This technology has evolved away from the idea of authoritative repositories of content and towards the broader notion of content being both free and ubiquitous. Schools are beginning to feel a social responsibility to create and share their content.

Gaming

The productive role of gaming allows for experimentation, the exploration of identities, and even failure. For example, a high school is using a web-based game show format in their language arts program.

Learning Analytics

Picture
Use of learning analytics to help educators design systems and approaches to better measure student outcomes and faculty development are on the horizon. It can lead to new ways of thinking and new technologies to track, visualize, and mine data.

Mobile Technologies

Picture
Mobile technology: K-12 schools are increasingly seeing the potential of mobile devices - and noting that not only are the devices themselves less expensive than laptops, they need less infrastructure to support them.

Personal Learning Environments

This is an approach or process that is individualized by design, and thus different from person-to-person. This allows the teacher to differentiate instruction even more, leaving the students with more choices in assessment.
