The State of the Education Industry in 2015 | Edudemic - 0 views

  • On a micro level, education is very simply about helping students learn the concepts and knowledge they need to know. When you zoom out from that small focus and start to look at the methods, products, debates, issues, and infrastructure that are all focused on this one goal, the sheer size and complexity of the education industry quickly becomes clear.
  • As a result, college students who may have otherwise considered becoming teachers started to see the job as a risky profession to pursue.

      This is AMAZING!!
  • Google Drive empowers teachers as they use Google Docs to provide real time feedback. It also helps students engage in discourse via Google Moderator, and provides project participants a platform for brainstorming remotely on Google Hangouts. But Google Drive’s power doesn’t lie solely in its own features. In fact, it is Drive’s integration with third party apps that really empower student collaboration. In this post, we’ll explore 5 creative ways to use integrated apps for group projects.

This is how your infrastructure should look before your next tech rollout | eSchool News - 0 views

  •  
    "to increase the probability of long term success and to reduce teacher/instructor frustration, organizations need to ensure that the broader fundamentals are in place before asking teachers to change. This is true whether the organization is a large university or school district, an eLearning business, or a small school of a few hundred students. (Note that I am not talking about the success of the "lone experimenters;" the innovators and early adopters who will implement change no matter what the environment is like. I am talking about organization wide long term success.)"
