Presented by Thomas Stone, Product Design Architect, Manager of Instructional Design and Thought Leader @ Element K.Emerging technologies? What are they? How can they be applied to traditional learning? Well... that is exactly what Thomas Stone presented. In this session, we were able to:
- Learn the definitions and benefits of emerging technologies, such as Web 2.0 tools--i.e. wikis, blogs, etc.
- Discuss how emerging technologies can be applied to traditional formal learning--also discussed which technologies to not use with formal learning solutions
- Differentiate among adult learning methods
"Asking what people are going to build with Web 2.0 is like asking what people are going to write on paper." - David Weinberger, Co-Author of 'The Cluetrain Manifesto' via Twitter, re-tweeted by Tim O'Reilly, January 24, 2009.
