It is awesome how technology can offer and can help to develop different abilities that people have. Also, I notice that exist many things that I ignore concerning technology, but now with this type of research, I notice how humanity has evolved.

In the 1800's, students sat in a classroom, listened to a teacher and took tests. In 2014, students do exactly the same thing, with maybe the addition of a pocket calculator and some slides. Nearly every other industry has been changed beyond recognition by the invention of computers. Why not education, arguably one of the…

In this article we can understand the deep relation between technology and pedagogy, pedagogy grows with technology. If we analyze it, all the knowledge is connected and related to each other. We cannot have one without the other one but as it was said before in this article, the reader can understand the relation between T and P (Technology and Pedagogy). It was thought that technology needed to be seamless but it is not. The push of technology has forced all of us to look closer to pedagogy.

Technology and collaborative work environments are changing the design of learning spaces. The idea that students must be seated at desks working in rows is quickly becoming archaic. Technology and collaborative work environments are changing the design of learning spaces. Experts hope that the emerging paradigm will translate into improved learning spaces and influence future architectural design. Stephen Heppell and expert panelists recently spoke in Australia about physical spaces in The changing face of Education. Heppell, an international expert in the fields of learning, new media and technology, is known for his “eyes on the horizon, feet on the ground philosophy”. He has moved countless organizations into the digital age. One such project, Ingenium, created a learning space that adapted to the needs of different types of learners. Kinaesthetic learners who might not benefit from traditional classrooms, for example, had ample space that allowed movement. The 21st century is challenging old notions of learning spaces…

Classrooms should be spaces students do not want to leave. This article goes through the notions of embracing change to meet the needs of Generation Y. As some communities are hesitant to make the change from the traditional classroom spaces the article makes suggestions (variety of different furniture, comfy spaces, mood lighting, encourage community involvement-classroom is inviting for adults as well as students) that will encourage student engagement in the 21st century. |

Across the higher education sector, aspirations to internationalise the student body, transform approaches to education, increase student recruitment and generate revenue are all on the agenda.
Once, universities might have been able to do all of this on their own. But it looks less likely as we move towards a digitally integrated future. Evidence-based pedagogical approaches for online education mean that very high quality engaged learning is now available at scale. But making the right choices of technologies and deploying them effectively requires effective partnerships and collaborations with providers.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory developed by the renowned psychologist and humanist Abraham Harold Maslow (April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970). Being disappointed by the behaviourist theories of the day that primarily focused on the study of problematic behaviour, Maslow took a different turn and did in-depth studies on the motivational part of the human conduct. He explored areas responsible for driving people's behaviour and happiness. For Maslow, any behaviour is a complex act that aim at the achievement of a certain goal.

The Right & Wrong Way To Use Technology For Learning
So much in learning is subjective, which makes sense because so much in life itself is also subjective, and we learn in order to live. So it’s natural.

A new report showcases some of the most important and difficult challenges of using education technology in today's classrooms.
The Challenges Faculty training still does not acknowledge the fact that digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession.
Teachers needs to be learning how to use the technology themselves, too. Where formal training lacks, professional development needs to step in, and does in many cases. But integrating the how-to of technology with the how-to of teaching needs to happen.
