3 ways technology and innovation can drastically transform learning

As we continue to embark through the Information Age, technology in the classroom is becoming increasingly more prominent. A study conducted by MidAmerica Nazarene University found that 82% of surveyed teachers believe technology enhances learning helping develop technological skills and critical thinking that will better prepare students to enter the workforce.The widespread adoption of technology demands educators to capitalize on opportunities to implement new strategies that will meet the needs of both students and industries today. This means leveraging today’s most functional tools and resources district-wide to expand learning and career opportunities in a variety of ways.Education no longer has to be confined to the brick and mortar walls of a classroom; learning can take place anywhere and at any time if a student has access to the internet. Although roughly 5 million households with school-age children don’t have access to broadband internet, schools now have a very specific resource that combats this digital divide: personal hotspots.
