Sir Ken Robinson: How is Technology Transforming Education?

 This is a short (2m20s) video from Sir Ken Robinson about how technology is transforming education. My favorite line, "Technology isn't technology if it happened before you were born."

Here are a couple of technology related items from the (college class of) 2017 Beloit Mindset list to get you thinking about what may (or may not be) technology for our students:

• They could always get rid of their outdated toys on eBay.
• PayPal has replaced a pen pal as a best friend on line.
• A tablet is no longer something you take in the morning.
• Rites of passage have more to do with having their own cell phone and Skype accounts than with getting a driver’s license and car.
• Courts have always been ordering computer network wiretaps.
• With GPS, they have never needed directions to get someplace, just an address.
• Java has never been just a cup of coffee. 
• They have never really needed to go to their friend’s house so they could study together.
