Technology Integration Research Review from Edutopia

Technology Integration Research Review from Edutopia | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Technology integration can be one of the most challenging topics to find quality research on. The term itself is a broad umbrella for numerous practices that may have little in common with each other. In addition, technology tools change rapidly, and outcomes can vary depending on implementation."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Edutopia has done a review of literature on technology and published five articles that provide an amazing number of resources.  

Learn about:

* Three key elements of successful technology integration

* Possible learning outcomes

* Recomendations for specific practices and programs by academic subject

* Tips for avoiding pitfalls with the adoption of new technologies

* An comprehensive annotated bibliography with links to the studies and reports

There is a wealth of information to be found in these articles so find the time to dig in.

The term Technology integration covers so many things thus literature on it is difficult to find depending on what tools are used etc

Is Twitter the Driving Force Behind Upcoming Educational Change? | Online Universities | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"The very fact that I found the reflective piece, "Is Twitter encouraging a type of ‘Arab Spring’ within Education?" via Twitter would seem to indicate that Twitter is having some effect on changing the education landscape...[The article poses the question] 'Are we living through a process whereby social media is finally breaking down some of the traditional divides that have kept education transformation suppressed?' He then proposes ways in which Twitter is facilitating that process. Examining Harris’ ideas sheds some light on why Twitter is a good tool for jumpstarting large-scale educational reform."
