Whilst researching I encountered an excellent blog about ‘Emerging Technology in Education’ written by K. Walsh. One entry in particular that caught my eye was ‘5 Reasons Why Educators Need To Embrace Internet Technologies’. This entry is an excellent resource to show those who are unsure about the use of Emerging Technologies and may not understand why we are trying to incorporate them into our programmes.
The five reasons are:
- Professional Development
- The Power To Engage
- Students Use Them Already
- It’s Not Going Away (It Will Only Grow)
- Businesses Want to Hire Workers Who Understand The Internet
