The Transforming Power of Digital Technology” In this era of computational, is impossible to say no to a digital framework, and is necessary to be connected read, write and do mathematical problems. The article explained that today the virtual realism, robotic technology and other forms of intelligence, and technology that involve education is something that impact the education environment. The article expressed that the “World Economic Forum” the request for technology and computer services will last to rose by 20% by 2025. Furthermore, these innovated technologies will generate future million of jobs by 2020. However, today’s education & technology has been working to encounter new challenges to catch scholars prepared by that time. The article by Chris Brandt stated that universities like Stanford and Harvard are now the leaders that are digging on the way to open online degrees and courses to initiate their educational landscape and making the road clear. Few examples are being introduced at the Alternative Education and Pearson and in K-12, so teachers can learn and be able to understand how to use the software and make their scholars aware. The article expressed the big concerns of using the online courses to make the algorithm’s more easy for the scholars to apply and also the program in the Pearson will be offering online courses for teachers to create better digital progress in their classrooms.

 “Collaborating with community colleges to innovate educational technology".  Approximately few undergraduates in the USA this article said attend community college. Also serves a big portion belongs to a diverse group of scholars, community colleges are dangerous in connecting the work abilities gap, in endowing scholars to change to more time in the institutes, and in allowing chances for pathways that are out of the traditional forums. However community colleges arose an impersonate difficulty: the investigators asking questions on how the scale can help to make better chooses for scholars that have problems and want to achieve the quality in their education programs. Finally the article expressed that investigators from a high university offers a digital program in the teaching department to help the community colleges improve their educational territory. The offer become from the MIT University and wanted to help all teachers who accept the technology and incorporated all their expertise into their curriculum plan. MIT University offers online courses as well and you do not to be present this is great for every teacher in the USA.

  1. Edna,
    The information that you shared from the article about technology rising fast in many sectors of our society, but lacking the emphasis in the Education realm, is so interesting, because it is so true. We see that some educational institutes do not have the technological resources available to them, either because there are no funds, or the technology has not reached them yet. Another issue that I encounter is that some teachers/educators, are resisting to learn how to use technology to benefit the learning. Thank you for sharing the information.

  2. Edna,

    I think educational technology is growing in every school dramatically. The issue that is at hand however, is that not all teachers are familiar with how to use the technology. In fact, many schools now have the tools and technologies available but many teachers do not know how to use it. I want to be an effective teacher and hope everyone is able to take advantage of the technology available.
