| Description: |
The authors challenge educators to adapt to a high-tech world. Included are four exponential trends that we cannot ignore and a vision for the future. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a book for primary and secondary educators (leaders and teachers) about change-change that is a result of using new technology; change in how we get information, entertain ourselves, communicate with others, do our work, teach, and learn. This book is also about the power of paradigm to shape our thinking, the pressure that technological development is putting on our paradigm for teaching and learning, six exponential trends in technological development that we cannot ignore, what these trends mean for education, new skills for students, new roles for teachers, and scenarios of education in the future.The first half of the book explores this world of technology and the 6 exponential trends in technological development that govern it while the second half of the book examines its impact on education, learning, and teaching, and forecasts a vision for the future. At the end of each chapter are discussion questions useful for jumpstarting conversations and thinking about change both personally and professionally.6 Exponential Trends:1. Moore's Law - technological processing power and speed doubling exponentially at least every 12 months.2. Photonics-exponentially increasing bandwidth speeds3. The Internet revolution4. The age of Infowhelm5. Disruptive technology that eventually diminishes or replaces the previous generation of technology. |
