Presentation Title:
Future of Learning - Dreaming & Preparing for 2020
Mobile technologies and behaviours are evolving so rapidly that it feels impossible to predict what we will be doing with them in five years time. Is it the fantastical science fiction of today? Or something as yet unimagined? And more importantly to us as educators, what should we be doing to prepare for this.
Companies like Qualcomm invest heavily in trying to understand, and prepare for the technologies of the future – but it can take many years before these ideas get adopted by educators. Geoff will explore some of the emerging technologies that will be impacting, and shaping learning in the near future, helping to consolidate our strategies for today.
