Teaching, Learning, and Leading in the Digital Age

 

Course Description


There has been a large shift in the way student minds work, and the way they engage and learn is different than it was in the past. As Meg Ormiston tells us, they are constantly wired and always connected, and they are accomplished in technology. Yet it has been said you can walk into a classroom today and it looks the same way it did 100 years ago. Today's learners cannot sit through the drawn-out lessons of the past, being lectured and given worksheets to complete. Luckily technology, the cause of the new mind's evolution, can work in our favor as we facilitate learning for our students.
