Four Ways Technology Is Changing How People Learn [Infographic]

Four Ways Technology Is Changing How People Learn [Infographic] | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Today, more than ever before, technology plays an important role in society. It is changing and will continue to change every aspect of how we live. It is changing the way we communicate, the way we do business, how we learn and teach, and even it’s changing the way our brains work."

Beth Dichter's insight:

This infographic provides four key points about e-learning. When you click through to the post you will find detailed descriptions for each of the four ways technology is changing how people learn.

* What does it mean to move from individual to collaborative learning?

* What is this shift from passive to active or brain based learning?
* Technology and differentiated instruction - how does technology assist with this?  (Please note one paragraph is duplicated in this section.)

* Multitasking - Does it work?

The infographic is very simple and it worth reading the text (which is above the inforgraphic when you click through).

How Social Media is Ruining Our Minds [Infographic] - Assisted Living Today

How Social Media is Ruining Our Minds [Infographic] - Assisted Living Today | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Social media use across the globe has exploded. As more and more people flock to social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus, it’s becoming clear that social media is having a profound effect on not only our lives but also on our brains.

Eric Moss's curator insight, June 29, 2015 10:36 AM

I found it extremely interesting looking at the symptoms of an experiment that was done, regarding giving up social media for 24 hours. Students felt phantom phone vibrations, reached for a phone that they didn’t have, and could not stop moving, all effects of not having access to social media for 1 day. I think this is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed. Maybe using social media leads to better employees by reducing stress and bringing about a better work ethic?  We cannot just simply skip over this issue, as it seems to be one that will be prominent in years to come. If you are able to get through the workday/school day as a happy, hardworking employee/student, maybe we shouldn’t worry about things like Internet addiction until they become more severe?

Having several tabs open at once on your computer may make you feel like you're getting more done, but multi-tasking can actually hinder more than it helps.
