Author: Catelyn Cantrell I wanted to look into this buzzword and figure out what “Adaptive Learning” really is all about. Plus, I was interested the extent to which developers have created tools following this idea. If you are interested in adaptive learning, here is an excellent paper to start reading, grounded in education research and theory from an organization known as the Education Growth Advisors. But before you jump in to that essay, let's explore the topic! Author: Ross Symthe The days when education was synonymous with attending classes are being relegated to the pages of history. Primarily due to the proliferation of the internet, and viable ed-tech tools, it has become easy to sign up for distance learning courses - in any field a person might be interested in. Since there is still a fair share of people who are skeptical about these online learning courses, We will highlight some of the benefits they offer: Epson Partners with Mimio to Sell MimioStudioSoftware with BrightLink Interactive Projectors5/15/2014 Leading Education Companies Join Forces to Bring Greater Interactivity to Classrooms LONG BEACH, Calif. and CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – May 15, 2014 – Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide1, andMimio, one of the world’s leading providers of interactive teaching technologies, today announced a partnership to sell MimioStudio™classroom software with Epson BrightLink® interactive projectors.

Author: Ross Symthe There is no sense in denying that higher education is expensive. A recent survey revealed that around 30% of the total statutory expenditure of the US government (federal and state) was for the academic sector alone. At most leading colleges and universities, the fees are on the higher side. Accessing the latest education technology resources enhances the total spending of students too, just as it adds to the expenditures for institutions. In this post, I would focus on some effective ways to keep a tab on such burgeoning education expenses: Author: Ross Smythe For all its sophistication and advancement, the essence of education has remained the same for centuries. It is still about the seamless knowledge transfer between teachers and students, along with appropriate interaction between the two groups. The availability of tools like interactive whiteboards, learning software and educational apps for kids have helped in the process, but not changed it. There is also a lot of talk about several other ‘new’ trends in education, which often come across as rather gimmicky and overhyped. In this post we'll cover some of these new fads our modern system.
