October 14, 2015 by Justin Ferriman+ 0 Comments It probably goes without saying that education has been significantly impacted by the surge in educational technology (or edtech). When most people think of edtech, images of mobile apps and Google tools come to mind. Video streaming platforms (YouTube) in education is pretty common nowadays. So much so that we hardly even think of it as “edtech” anymore but rather just part of the educational environment. The reason edtech has surged in popularity is multifaceted. One one hand it offers educators a great way to present information and ideas to students to help maximize learning retention. It adds another component to learning, often requiring learners to apply what it is they have just been taught. However, the other side of the equation is that edtech offers an economical incentive to classrooms and educational institutions. Electronic books, elearning, edtech apps and the like all cost less than traditional instructor-led classrooms. Students often prefer these various methods of learning because it gives them more flexibility in their schedules. As such, more and more schools are rolling out distance learning programs that rely heavily upon these tools. To get a sense of the impact edtech is having on the traditional educational landscape, reference the infographic below created by FatWalet. You can see that there are real cost benefits to edtech, and in a world where the cost of education is a major barrier it only makes sense that programs like this are becoming more frequent. It helps to make higher education more accessable to those who might otherwise be unable to take the on-site courses. At the same time it helps these schools and universities reach a larger audience and build their brand.

In ELT circles, ‘behaviourism’ is a boo word. In the standard history of approaches to language teaching (characterised as a ‘procession of methods’ by Hunter & Smith 2012: 432[1]), there were the bad old days of behaviourism until Chomsky came along, savaged the theory in his review of Skinner’s ‘Verbal Behavior’, and we were all…

We live in a world in which computers can trade stocks faster than any broker on the floor and best any living human in the game of Jeopardy. But it turns out even our smartest artificial intelligence (AI) is still relatively dumb. So what do humans have that our machines don't? Guia Marie Del Prado, 14/10/2015

A Educomunicação envolvendo a comunicação como prática educacional tem pouco mais de 40 anos de história. Não existe precisão sobre quem criou o neologismo Educomunicação. O que se sabé é que deve ter sido criado por volta da década de 1960. O nome mais provável é o do argentino Mário Kaplún, mas a discussão que nele resulta é ainda anterior. O Italiano Antônio Gramsci, o francês Edgar Morin, o brasileiro Paulo Freire, o colombiano Martín-Barbero e o paraguaio Juan Diáz Bordinave são citados por Kaplún.

Corporate eLearning has been around almost as long as computers have been in the workplace, but it hasn’t always been effective or engaging. We’ve all, at some point, experienced the mandatory computer training course whose biggest deliverable was mind-numbing boredom. But on the coattails of new technology and employee engagement initiatives, corporate eLearning is experiencing seismic shifts some for the better, others which have yet to prove their value.

Los niños, en casa y en la calle, juegan con videoconsolas, se conectan a Internet, muchos tienen móvil e incluso tableta, están con el ordenador,… luego llegan al colegio y se sumergen en un mundo analógico, muy parecido al que tuvieron sus padres y abuelos, en una enseñanza donde siguen teniendo protagonismo la pizarra y las tizas, los libros de texto, los cuadernos de anillas, los lapiceros, etc. Es decir, pasan de vivir en el siglo XXI a retroceder, como poco, a finales del siglo XX; un mínimo de quince años, donde la evolución social y tecnológica han sido rápidas y continuas.
