Thoughts about Technology in Education from Industry Leaders “Education is evolving due to the impact of the Internet. We cannot teach our students in the same manner in which we were taught. Change is necessary to engage students, not in the curriculum we are responsible for teaching, but in school. Period.” – April Chamberlain “As technology changes the way we communicate, connect, create, consume and innovate, it is democratising access to opportunity. Education is no exception.” – Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen “Technology can become the “wings” that will allow the educational world to fly farther and faster than ever before – if we allow it.” – Jenny Arledge “EdTech paired with knowledge is when it is most powerful.” – Neil Jarrett “We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.” – Major Owens “The Internet is the first technology since the printing press which could lower the cost of a great education and, in doing so, make that cost-benefit analysis much easier for most students. It could allow American schools to service twice as many students as they do now, and in ways that are both effective and cost-effective.” – John Katzman “We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David Warlick “Teachers need to integrate tech seamlessly into lessons instead of viewing it as an add-on or afterthought.” – Heidi Hayes Jacobs Embrace the necessity of technology in today's education landscape.

"...without instructors’ support and buy-in, students are unlikely to reap the full benefits of tech-enabled learning, including increased access to higher education, more engaging courses and personalized learning experiences that better meet student needs. Top-down purchasing decisions keep faculty members on the sidelines. Rather than relegating them to the role of bystander, institutions should bring faculty in as partners in the process." https://lnkd.in/g9GJPVar #HigherEducation #HigherEd #HigherEdTech #EdTech #HigherEdNews
