In the last decade we've seen technology influence education more than ever. Computers, tablets and cell phones have turned many of our students into 'screenagers.' Because of this, the role of the teacher has evolved and become more crucial than ever before. In this keynote we will discuss what we can expect from our 21st Century learners and educators. A students technological environment affects the work they can do in the classroom. As technology improves our delivery, we can focus on creating a thoughtful educational culture. As educators we can capitalize on their natural curiosity and use technology to help us manage the workflow and become the medium for learning.
