How the major providers of edutech help you turn anyplace into a classroom?
This is the first infographic that I am looking for. It contains so much information in it but those are with graphs and short sentences like posters. The most interesting fact that I identify in the infographic is that there is a source called as YouTubeEDU and it has 700.000 educational videos over 800 channels.
In the infographic, it is stated that " 98% of college students own a digital device" and "3 of 4 students say they wouldn't be able to study without technology". Based on these findings, I can suggest that Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) can be a promising trend since students can study in classroom environment with their own technologies.
I agree with you, Ceren. Increased student achievement as a consequence of use of Twitter in classes is interesting. I would like to give an example how it can occur. Students can use Twitter to write their short reflections about a topic they learnt in class. It may increase students' engagement in lessons outside of the class and as a result it may foster learning.
"Teachers new to using technology in the classroom may be overwhelmed at a number of available options or may not know which tools are effective and which tools are just a distraction." this infographic suggests some ways overcome the confusion of technological tools.
