30 Teaching Innovations

From Robotic Piano Teachers to School Teacher Chic

— November 16, 2009 — Social Good
Teachers are the cornerstone of every society; they hold the key to the future because they educate those who will inherit it. This cluster highlights cutting edge teacher innovations, including the naughty ones, but never will you find me bashing educators… I wouldn’t be writing this without them.

Implications - The education industry has experienced a breakthrough shift due to the widespread adoption of the Internet and technological gadgets. Modern educational innovations include robots, interactive learning tools and virtual lectures. Companies can take advantage of this opportunity by adopting the latest technologies, using cutting-edge tools to deliver educational materials and embracing social media as a vehicle to expand erudite discussions.
