These slides are from a presentation at the Harriburg Diocese Educational Conference on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Technology is one facet of today’s changing educational landscape. It is disrupting education by making information available to all, enabling instant and recurring feedback and allowing individualized learning, while also allowing collaboration to occur like never before. Technology is also supporting changes in education formats, shifts in pedagogy and limitless access not bound by location. Join this session to explore the top 5 shifts in education over the past 5 years. The session will also address the role that technology is playing as a disruptor of traditional education and as an enabler for meeting today’s educational challenges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8jiqnvdxdE&feature=youtu.be http://www.technapex.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/edvideogames-730x2044.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H4RkudFzlc http://flippedlearning1.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/classroomwindowinfographic7-12.pdf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV8M6P9st9Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayW032sKtj8 http://www.ipads4teaching.net/ http://vimeo.com/63745132 http://www.edtechmagazine.com/k12/video/cosn-social-media-breaks-through-k-12-barriers http://edutech4teachers.edublogs.org/files/2013/09/innovation-infographic-yp2y9f.png
