Phones were a distraction, computers were for the home, and the most exposure students got in school was typing class or a computer lab. Now, technology is being seen as a learning tool, and schools with more technology are seen as more prestigious. As time goes on, universities are using technology more in order to help both students and staff in different ways. ]]> 2017-10-05 06:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/194160207 kpace12 https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/194160208 A team of graduate assistances at Georgia Tech University successfully created an artificial intelligence to serve as a T.A (Warner, 2017). Though at this point just a minimum "question answering tool," this is an indication how technology is evolving. Will it eventually completely replace teachers? That remains to be seen. ]]> 2017-10-05 06:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/194160208 kpace12 https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/194160209 Students today were born into a digital world. They are what Islim (2017) called "Digital Natives." Because of this, these generations expect technology and the internet to be part of their everyday lives, including their schooling. How will universities incorporate technology for their students in the future? ]]> 2017-10-05 06:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/194160209 kpace12 https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/195630316 Though technology and "ed-tech" is on the rise in classrooms across the country, Kim (2017) says that when colleges and universities choose to invest in new educational technologies, they are choosing to invest in their educators first and foremost. Educational technology's main goal is to support educators, therefore it cannot completely replace them. ]]> 2017-10-10 14:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/195630316 kpace12 https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/195633047 Technology is part of our every day lives and its progress cannot be stopped. It will continue to benefit the higher education landscape and change the way educators and administrations do every day tasks. However, it doesn't seem to be on track to completely replace teachers, teaching assistants, or professors. It will continue to be used as a tool for students and educators to use to aid and facilitate learning. ]]> 2017-10-10 14:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/195633047 kpace12 https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/195643625 Technology is a tool and resource for the advancement of student learning. According to the NASPA competency, educators should not only use the technology available to them, but embrace it and be able to adapt to the changing technological landscape. It's important as educators or administrators to understand the types of technology available so that we can better understand and assist the student body. Professional development should include digital learning workshops and other forms of training. ]]> 2017-10-10 15:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kpace12/yrekdh5as67p/wish/195643625
