Disruptive Technologies in Education:
Dealing With Wild-Cards in a Light-Speed WorldAbstract:
Every so often a technology emerges that transforms the world that created it. This was true of the steam engine and the printing press in the past, and it is true of the telematic world of computers and the Internet today. This session looks at the emergence of new technologies likely to have a huge impact on education -- technologies that are based on the current foundation of highly-networked computing that is now moving us into the domain of true peer-to-peer interaction, coupled with the power of handheld devices that, shortly, will rival the desktop systems of today in power. This presentation will be of special value for those educators who want a glimpse of the kinds of tools that might transform educational practice in the next five to ten years.
