Update 5: Education Innovation
I think that educational innovation is interesting because it really utilizes technology. I think that when teachers are engaging with students now-a-days there is always some sort of technological elements to it. Whether it be using an electronic whiteboard or some flipped classroom teaching style. I think it is important to understand that being on top of technology and its use in education.
For example, just like other fields whether it be in an IT, HR, or Finance arena, there is always some sort of innovation. With education and Tech, I think there is a large opportunity to be innovative education with IT.
Not only can IT being a educational innovation, I think that it can also be new research that has been developed. When it comes to education innovation and new research that is a constant variable in the field. We will always be evolving and as we get access to more resources and things, we will get additional opportunities to strengthen or hone in a be specific with our educational goals.
@Devin, Thanks for the update. I thought you made some interesting points. Like you, I agree that a good teacher needs to find a way to utilize technology in order to interact with the students of today's society. In order to be affective, as educators, we must stay up to date with the changing technology and be willing and committed to constantly developing our repertoire.
