AppSmash Presentation

Artifact Introduction: 

This module contains my AppSmash Presentation which examines research from the 2020 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report and the effects of those findings on educational technology. 

Module 3 Objectives/Goals:

• Explore key trends, significant challenges, and developments in EdTech as reported in the 2020 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report. 

• Create an AppSmash product to explain how your school/district/context is impacted and will act based on this information.  

Reflection:

While exploring the data compiled in the 2020 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report, I learned a lot about the world of EdTech and how it can potentially affect teaching and learning in the 21st Century and beyond. The six "micro-categories" outlined in the report helped me better understand the key trends, challenges/implications, and the developments/emerging technologies that define and shape EdTech use in today's clasrooms and institutions of higher learning. I also really enjoyed the process of "appsmashing" that was used to create my presentation. I got a chance to showcase my creativity and to explore some new learning applications. I plan to research more educational apps in the future and to continue my use of "appsmashing" when presenting content to my students.
