Who is driving educational technology growth?
If you were to travel back in time about one hundred years ago, EVERYTHING would be different. Technology has advanced to the point where we are now seeing autonomous vehicles on the road; cutting edge breakthroughs in healthcare have basically eradicted some diseases. Technology has changed almost all facets of society... except education. As educators and students, we have reached the crossroads of learning where we can either follow the path of outdated pedagogical methods... or we can allow technology to individualize our learning for a more enriching experience.
In order to get students to play a more proactive role in their education, and to help educators facilitate this process, I plan on making a long-term documentary that highlights where education has been and where it's heading with the assistance of educational technology.
I plan on interviewing all relevant stakeholders and subject-matter-experts. These will include everyone from students to professors and everyone in between.
