Week 7 Core Topic: Current & Emerging Technologies

Combining week 7 into the week 6 lecture, Current & Emerging Technologies was presented.
Intersting to see about the development of computers. Having completed high school over 20 years ago, my expereince has been first hand just by using and working it out in business. Students though are able to research, investigate and learn.
The emerging technologies are what is really amazing and daunting. I know I need to keep track off and keep on top off as this is my teaching area. I think the benefit I will have is to encourage students to not only show and teach fellow students, but myself as well. I believe this will be a great way to engage with my students.
Gardeners multiple intelligences is an area I must consider with new and emerging technologies and if adopted will enhance learning (Woolfolk & Margetts 2010). For some students to learn about technologies may require a varied approach, I am not just to assume that as a student I presume they know. 

The Horizon Report has been provided  as it is a very good resource that can be used. The report is a think tank of specialised people about technology now, short term and the furture.
