Eclectic Technology

Technology is a powerful tool for learning that can be used effectively to help students develop the skills necessary to succeed in school and beyond.

Susan Oxnevad provides a great visual to help understand the instructional shifts (and in fact, there are six shifts she discusses within her article).
She states "Students can develop transferrable knowledge and skills as they engage in learning experiences that require them to construct knowledge. In order to facilitate these types of deep learning experiences, an adjustment in traditional instructional practices is necessary. These ideas are supported by the Common Core State Standards."

Did you know that a new study from NortonLive shows "that 1/3 of college students find technology issues to be among their top three stressors (even more so than financial issues or studying for finals)."

This infographic provides additional findings such as:

* the average amount spent on technology was $760

* a laptop/desktop computer malfunction would be a "complete disaster" according to 81%
