Trends
Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we
work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.
Technology is increasingly a means for empowering students...
...a method for communication and socializing, and
a ubiquitous, transparent part of their lives
.
The web is an increasingly personal experience.
The way we think of learning environments is
changing.
The perceived value of innovation and creativity is increasing.
Challenges
A growing need for formal instruction in key new skills:
information literacyvisual literacytechnological literacy
Students are different, but educational practice and the
material that supports it is changing only slowly.
Learning that incorporates real life experiences is not occurring
enough and is undervalued when it does take place.
There is a growing recognition that new technologies must be
adopted and used as an everyday part of classroom activities, but effecting this change is difficult.
