The emergence of new technologies in the information age and beyond is dramatically changing the way people teach and learn in K–12 education, higher education, and corporations. Education professionals in this course explore new scholarship, collaborative tools, social networking, wireless and mobile technologies, creative commons, fair use, user-created content, and virtual worlds to become leaders in helping to diffuse these innovations. They also engage in a multimedia presentation to analyze obsolete technology, assess new technology, and explore projections regarding future technological movements. Through this project, education professionals are better able to conceive a world where technology is a seamless aspect of learning and work.
