TECHNOLOGY TRENDS INFOGRAPHIC ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW Understanding the direction of technology and its future impacts on education enables us to prepare our curriculum and classrooms for those trends, and we can direct our professional development in that way as well. This promotes our self-efficacy and changes our attitudes toward the inclusion of new technology tools. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to investigate the current and future trends of technology on education and then present this information in an infographic.

To complete this assignment, you will: Select a chapter to read from the Roblyer & Hughes (2019) text (or from the Horizon Report on Higher Education) that best aligns to your classroom demands (TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS) (for example, if you teach fire and safety to first responders, you might choose to read Chapter 15 Teaching and Learning with Technology in Physical and Health Education. This will give you an idea of how technology is currently used in the classroom. ) Then, research current and rising technologies and their potential impact for your classroom. Consider social platform tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, as well as new trends such as AI, AR, and VR. Seek to understand how these technologies could be used in the classroom. Now, create an Infographic describing the current or future use of technology in the classroom. Include a summary of the direction technology is taking in the classroom, a minimum of 3 current technologies (those suggested from the text or social media platforms) and two rising technologies (e.g. AI, AR, or VR) on your Infographic. Provide 2-3 potential advantages and challenges of their classroom use. Include outside sources in current APA format.
