How will current and future generations learn from and interact with new and advanced technologies like 3D printers, Google Glass, and personal drones? How will these technologies impact education? And what will changes in technology and education mean for older generations? The term "educational technology" is usually equated with "classroom computing". This is a narrow interpretation on both counts: education is much more than classroom activity, and technology is much more than computing. In this discussion, Dr. Eisenberg will present a more enjoyable, intellectually rich, and optimistic way of thinking about educational technology. |
