Establishing Effective Educator-Machine Partnerships

Educators gain an understanding of what changes “Industry 4.0” has on education and its possible impact on learning. Educators will reflect on their current teaching journey by creating a digital teaching portfolio and sharing potential advantages and concerns over technology in classrooms. Moreover, they will also identify their professional development goals and map their action plans in applying technology to teaching and learning (T&L). In doing so, educators gain a profound and context-driven insight into innovation skills that learners need to master in their education.

Educators will explore ways to develop Skills For Innovation in their learning experiences. We will introduce three technology integration models and demonstrate how educators effectively apply technology in their classrooms to achieve innovation outcomes. Upon completing this module, educators will develop tools that help grow innovative learners' capacities and begin integrating technology into their curriculum in preparation for a technology-driven society.

This module explores the opportunities and threats in using machines in a classroom. Technology advancement has allowed education to advance in many ways. However, many educators may not have the exposure or knowledge to tap on such advancement. In this module, educators will examine curated case studies on technology usage in classrooms to derive best practices that may further improve technology-supported learning experiences. Upon the completion of this module, educators will be better equipped with strategies that would help maximize students’ engagement in a safe and collaborative technology-supported learning environment.
