Horizon Report

I think because we live in a society where technology is so affluent, it only makes sense that technology is incorporated into the classroom. Many schools already have computers available to their students for various scholastic demands. How many of these computers are Apple or up-to-date though? One of the points in the Horizon Report discussed a new emphasis on more challenged based and active learning. Just about every student has either a smartphone, laptop, ipod, or tablet. Apple computers make it very easy to link your personal device to share pictures, videos, etc. There is also many applications that can be downloaded on these new technologies that would really foster higher education. Apps such as Pininterest are helpful tools for teachers, and thousands of learning apps are available for students. Students are so intuned with these new techologies. Incorporating these new innovations into the classroom are a great way to engage students both inside and outside of the classroom.
