Once upon a time, the role of the teacher in the classroom conjured up images and ideas of blackboards, rulers, chalk, and pencils. But now, technology is becoming more and more integrated into modern school systems—not just as an added bonus, but as a necessity to how students learn and how teachers teach. While at one point in time, adopting technology into the classroom may have been perceived as stressful and forced for teachers and students alike, as it stands now, students aren’t just excited about using technology, teachers are excited and highly capable of utilizing its presence in the classroom.

A research group lead by Professor Tachi at Keio University in Japan is currently working on one of the first incarnations of an avatar that incorporates some pretty cool virtual robotics technology. By slipping on a pair of virtual reality gloves and a helmet, you would be able to control and see the world through your avatar’s eyes. The concept behind this virtual robotics technology is really called Telexistence, and it allows us to control a real avatar robot. Via Szabolcs Kósa, cassian bulger, ManufacturingStories

A step up from remote controlled robots doing dangerous jobs, saving potential lives. This could allow for more dextrous and accurate controls without the remote-control middleman and instead with direct input.
If these were to make it into society then it could vastly change the structure of things, with work being done without even leaving the home.

This particular website gives information on the creation of avatar/robots that humans will be able to control. This will change the future, technology will allow humans to create there own avatar in the form of a robot, allowing humans to stay home whilst there avatar/robot goes out to do there daily needs or to even do there jobs at a single touch of a button, this technology will vastly change how the world works and runs.

Technology such as this which provides an avatar that can be operated remotely has infinite potential to make the lives of countless people easyer such robots provide an "out of body" experience and when perfected can enable working remotly and remotly carrying out daily chores. With strides like this technology is taking remarkable strides into how we are shaping our future.

The post Employee Engagement Matters provides the following statistics as evidence for engagement:
Grow profit
• The Corporate Leadership Council reports that engaged organizations grew profits as much as three times faster than their competitors. Highly engaged organizations have 87% less staff turnover and 20% better performance than average.
• A global survey by Tower Perrins-ISR involving more than 664,000 employees in 50 companies found that the operating income of companies with engaged employees improved by 19% in one year, while it declined by 33% for companies with low levels of employee engagement.
• Fully engaged employees are 2.5 times more likely to exceed performance expectations than their disengaged colleagues.
• 59% of engaged employees say their job brings out their most creative ideas compared to only 3% for disengaged employees.
Corporate social responsibility
• Many factors, such as leadership, integrity, immediate management and fair treatment, influence employee engagement. However, increasing evidence shows that performance on sustainable development also plays part. For example, a survey by Ipsos Mori10 found that:
70% of employees with a favorable perception of their company’s community engagement plan to stay for the next 2 years. compared to 50% of those with a less favorable perception.75% would recommend their company if they feel it is environmentally responsible, versus less than half if it is not.47% of job-seekers are more likely to join and stay with a company that addresses social issues.75% of employees who believe their employers pay enough attention to environmental protection and sustainable development reported higher levels of commitment.
