Persistent Pondering http://persistentpondering.posterous.com Where do social action, art, music, technology, media, pop culture, and most importantly, student needs intersect? posterous.com Sun, 14 Oct 2012 07:53:00 -0700 Envisioning the Future of Education Technology Infographic http://persistentpondering.posterous.com/envisioning-the-future-of-education-technolog http://persistentpondering.posterous.com/envisioning-the-future-of-education-technolog

You all know my obsession with infographics.

envisioning-the-future-of-education.pdf Download this file
I know the title is about education technology, but I am finding the change in pedagogy so intrinsically connected to these technologies that it's difficult to plan on transforming education without integrating pedagogical evolution responsive to these technologies. We discussed this for 4 wonderful hours on Friday while planning what NTH@C will become.

Exciting? Yes. Inspirational? Yes. Daunting? A little. Necessary? Well, to remain relevent and mearningful and adaptive and worthy. Yes.

I would say that Virtual/Physical Studios is defintely an area for growth, but perhaps, the bond program can help with that. Gamification is perhaps closer than we think with powerful curriculum on the horizon (and a pesky facilitator who likes to write grants).

And I want to open up disintermediation. What does that look like? What does that feel like? Can I get some help with that?

The future is NOW.

Who remembers CDs? Cassette tapes? Vinyl? Eight Tracks? So much has changed...interesting that most audiophiles prefer vinyl over digital music. I have to say I agree.

Still, nothing can compare to the ease of digital music. I remember spending hours on Napster! Just a thing of the past.

Wow...I guess the difference is video games are entertainment that you can take home, but still, the difference is staggering.

Okay, I just found this interesting on the basis of how a word evolves in meaning. What kind of geek are you?

Interesting infographic. I like that it's broken down to specific skills and disciplines.

I also concur with the need to curb too much gaming, but video games in education cannot be denied as a powerful learning tool.
