Adult Learning EU on Twitter: "What are the elements of a #creativeclassroom research model? @jca_1975... Four trends in tech that every trainee teacher should know about. There is more computing power in the average smartphone than the spacecraft that sent the first man to the moon, Gareth Ritter, head of creative arts at Willows high school, is fond of pointing out. “That’s an incredible educational resource, and every student has one, but schools often try to ban them.
It’s absolutely crazy,” says Ritter, who won the 2013 Pearson award for outstanding use of technology in the classroom. Technology is now playing a greater role in young peoples’ lives than ever before and the opportunities this provides for new teachers to enliven their lessons and engage with students are incredible. Yet it also poses a challenge that trainee teachers need to be ready for. Here’s our overview of the key trends in educational tech that trainee teachers should be aware of. Online learning “The Coursera ones are great because they’re free, make for fantastic extension work for more gifted students, and stand out on personal statements and CVs,” she adds.
Social Media. A Teenager’s View on Social Media. Written by an actual teen I read technology articles quite often and see plenty of authors attempt to dissect or describe the teenage audience, especially in regards to social media. However, I have yet to see a teenager contribute their voice to this discussion. This is where I would like to provide my own humble opinion. For transparency, I am a 19-year-old male attending The University of Texas at Austin. I am extremely interested in social media’s role in our society as well as how it is currently evolving.
Thus, the views I provide here are my own, but do stem from observation of not only my own habits but my peers’ habits as well. This article will not use any studies, data, sources, etc. I think the best way to approach this would be to break it down by social media network and the observations/viewpoints I've gathered over the years. Facebook In short, many have nailed this on the head.
Facebook is often used by us mainly for its group functionality. Instagram Twitter Snapchat Tumblr. The 7 Characteristics of Teachers Who Use Technology Effectively. I just came across this awesome graphic shared by our colleagues in teachthought and I found it really interesting. The graphic features 7 habits of the highly effective teachers using technology. Even though the habits mentioned are generic , they still reflect part of the digital behavior teacher should embrace when using technology in their class.
What is really interesting in this graphic is that all of these 7 habits are also the same features we find in people with " growth mindset ". If you still remember the comparison we have made between growth and fixed mindsets and we said that teachers with the growth mindset are more open to embrace change, take risks, persist in the face of setbacks, see effort as the path for mastery , and find lessons and inspiration in the success of others. Without any further ado, I ll let you go through these 7 habits and don't forget to let us know what you think of them.

Posted by Jorge Lugo, Software Engineer, Classroom (Cross-posted on the Google for Work Blog) While it’s a new year on the calendar, many teachers and students are just midway through the school year. They’ve clearly been hard at work, turning in more than 30 million assignments with Classroom since it launched six months ago. If those assignments had been on paper instead of Google Docs, they would stretch from New York to Los Angeles when laid end to end.
Today we’re launching a native Classroom mobile app for both Android and iOS (also available in Google Play for Education) to help teachers and students connect from wherever they are, and save even more paper and time. With the mobile app, students and teachers can: Snap a photo: Right from the assignment page in the mobile app, students can snap a photo and attach it to their assignment — whether it’s the experiment they just did for a science class, or a drawing they made of their family tree.

E-portfolios are decidedly not the hottest thing in higher education. They just don’t fit the profile for a sexy ed-tech trend. For example, their success does not threaten to disrupt the entire business model of higher education.
In fact, when thoughtfully employed, e-portfolios can be a mechanism for greater institutional coherence. Another serious impediment to e-portfolio’s status as an ed-tech trend is that they don’t fit into a neat ed-tech category. That e-portfolios are practices more than technologies means there is no plug and play “total e-portfolio solution” to be purchase or licensed. The ed-tech trends garnering all the attention—data and learning analytics, MOOCs, online and blended education, open content, competency-based learning, and for-profit companies delivering one or more unbundled services—are all likely to be part of the future transformed landscape of higher education.
I don’t mean this conservatively or regressively.
