DESCRIPTION

In less than a decade, social media, cloud computing, wireless devices, smartphones, apps and tweets and video-based content have transformed society. If it seems like the times are changing faster than ever, that's because they are! At the crossroads of these changes, where the technology, and the community, and the young generation of early technology adopters intersect are schools and teachers. Therefore understanding these trends and their impacts on teaching and learning is critical for today's educators. Here is a snapshot of the latest research on these changes by Mark McCrindle and McCrindle Research as presented at MYSA 2013.
