Technology Trends That Tranform
Listening to Sir Ken Robinson speaking about the education system is enough to arouse our thinking about the need for a pardigm shift in how we educate . The template for teaching and learning has experienced its own evoloution. The idea that children would one day use computer for learning was almost remotely impossible 40 years ago but today it is a promise that has been realized. The rapid change brought about by technology is revolutionizing every aspect of our lives and how we educate is no exception. However we have stood on the side and watched technology disrupt the inertia of our traditional classroom without taking proactive leadership.
Technology today is disruptive and transformative and there is always something new on the horizon. It is therefore imperative that evolving with the technology is a new breed of leaders who will keep watch of the emerging technologies and provide relevant leadership. Disruptive technology is trendy and reports such as the Horizon Reports keep us abreast with the latest trends that are about to have major impact..
Trends such as cloud technology , web 3.0 and mobile technology have disrupted out learning. Social media has transformed our social intelligence, our culture is now adaptive and people somehow appear to be empowered. Innovation and creativity are standards of today and one can choose to either adapt or die.
