Book excerpt: Mobile Learning: The Next Generation documents the most innovative projects in context-aware mobile learning in order to develop a richer theoretical understanding of learning in modern mobile-connected societies. Context-aware mobile learning takes advantage of cell phone, mobile, and pervasive personal technologies to design learning experiences that exploit the richness of both indoor and outdoor environments. These technologies detect a learner’s presence in a particular place, the learner’s history in that place or in relation to other people and objects nearby, and adapt learning experiences accordingly, enabling and encouraging learners to use personal and social technologies to capture aspects of the environment as learning resources, and to share their reactions to them.

Book excerpt: One of the first champions of the positive effects of gaming reveals the dark side of today's digital and social media Today's schools are eager to use the latest technology in the classroom, but rather than improving learning, the new e-media can just as easily narrow students' horizons. Education innovator James Paul Gee first documented the educational benefits of gaming a decade ago in his classic What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy. Now, with digital and social media at the center of modern life, he issues an important warning that groundbreaking new technologies, far from revolutionizing schooling, can stymie the next generation's ability to resolve deep global challenges. The solution-and perhaps our children's future-lies in what Gee calls synchronized intelligence, a way of organizing people and their digital tools to solve problems, produce knowledge, and allow people to count and contribute. Gee explores important strategies and tools for today's parents, educators, and policy makers, including virtual worlds, artificial tutors, and ways to create collective intelligence where everyday people can solve hard problems. By harnessing the power of human creativity with interactional and technological sophistication we can finally overcome the limitations of today's failing educational system and solve problems in our high-risk global world. The Anti-Education Era is a powerful and important call to reshape digital learning, engage children in a meaningful educational experience, and bridge inequality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important text synthesizes the state of knowledge related to thinking and technology and provides strategies for helping young people cultivate thinking skills required to navigate the new digital landscape. The rise of technology has resulted in new ways of searching and communicating information among youth, often creating information “overload”. We do not know how the new technologies will affect the ways young people learn and think. There are plenty of warnings about the dangers of information technology, but there is also enormous potential for technology to aid human thinking, which this book explores from an open-minded perspective. Coverage Includes: - An up to date review of the literature on thinking skills in general, and in relation to technology.- Practical guidelines for thinking with technology.- A scholarly review of the characteristics of the digital generation.- A discussion of the various steps involved in the thinking process.- A historical context of the Information Age and the transition from oral history, to printing press, to the Internet. Thinking Skills for the Digital Generation: The Development of Thinking and Learning in the Age of Information is an invaluable reference for educators and research professionals particularly interested in educational technology, and improving thinking and problem-solving skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines how to begin to think like a global educator first by examining how our own histories and experiences have formed our own cultural and professional identities and second how the varied frames by which global education can be understood – pedagogical, ideological and cosmopolitan – have shaped the field. Laurence Peters connects theory and practice about global education relevant to cultivating global awareness in primary and secondary students. Rather than seeing global education as a special field separate from the other disciplines the author encourages integration of global perspectives into everything we do. Showcasing how global awareness is a developmental issue, dependent upon the student’s ability to step outside of their own place-based comfort zone, this volume lays out a roadmap of major challenges and issues around instilling this awareness in students. This book connects theory and practice about global education relevant to cultivating global awareness in primary and secondary students. From this foundation, the book engages with the challenge of integrating global perspectives within a crowded curriculum. By convincing students and teachers alike of global education’s centrality, thinking globally becomes an integral component of learning across subject areas and grade levels, and this work encourages students to exercise empathy for the other and to develop critical skills to see through media distortions and 'fake news' so they can better resist the tendency of politicians in our increasingly multicultural countries to divide people along racial and ethnic lines.

This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of the 21st century, typically those of the Millennial (also referred to as 'Gen Y') or Gen Z generations, were born into a digitally advanced world. Unlike in the 1960's when the smallest computers occupied entire rooms at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) complex, today's digital landscape is smitten with the abundant use of modern laptops, tablets and smart phones. Modern computing technology has evolved due to the marriage with extremely powerful computing software, which collectively has resulted in the commonplace use of modern technology on a regular basis throughout all aspects of everyday life. This relatively unrestricted access to computers is coupled with an unfettered access to the internet, providing 'users' unlimited freedoms to search for boundless amounts of information. This constant stream of electronically-accessible information, the 'digital highway', has subsequently led to the creation of novel strategies to teach today's students.Today's students, or more aptly referred to as 'modern learners', are quite unique compared with previous students of the Baby Boomer or Gen X generations. Students of the Gen X generation were the first students to experience wide-spread access to computers during high school and undergraduate studies, whereas the majority of students from both the Gen Y and Gen Z generations have been literally bombarded with computer technology since birth. This access has created an 'on-demand' lifestyle that relies on searchable databases, instant access to live-streaming events and the ability to communicate electronically (in various formats) from almost anywhere on the face of the planet. This on-demand lifestyle has permeated every facet of everyday life to the degree that many of these technologies are now incorporated routinely into all forms of business and science, and used throughout all levels (elementary, secondary and professional) of education. Thus, the constant use of modern technology - coupled with the on-demand lifestyle - has led to profound changes in learner expectations, resulting in the need for educators to develop new strategies and face unique challenges on a regular and often recurring basis.This book provides a detailed overview into those educational strategies and various challenges faced by today's educators. It is conveniently divided into two parts. The first part includes chapters examining different strategies for teaching a wide variety of students covering multiple age groups. The second part includes chapters providing unique insights into some of the varied challenges facing today's educators. The vast majority of strategies - and challenges - are focused on how the emerging technology of the early 21st century has resulted in profound influences for both learner and educator expectations and limitations, and how technology has opened up endless opportunities that will ultimately alter the modern educational landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the most influential activity for social and economic development of individuals and societies, education is a powerful means of shaping the future. The emergence of physical and digital technologies requires an overhaul that would affect not only the way engineering is approached but also the way education is delivered and designed. Therefore, designing and developing curricula focusing on the competencies and abilities of new generation engineers will be a necessity for sustainable success. Engineering Education Trends in the Digital Era is a critical scholarly resource that examines more digitized ways of designing and delivering learning and teaching processes and discusses and acts upon developing innovative engineering education within global, societal, economic, and environmental contexts. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as academic integrity, gamification, and professional development, this book is essential for teachers, researchers, educational policymakers, curriculum designers, educational software developers, administrators, and academicians.
