The document discusses how emerging technologies can be used to enhance teaching practice by exploiting their "wow factor" to engage students. It provides examples of technologies from 10 years ago and how they have evolved. Some key technologies discussed that have potential for education include augmented reality, mobile devices, gesture-based computing, visual data analysis, and learning analytics. The document emphasizes letting students explore technologies for their own sake to discover what can be done with them and have fun in the learning process.

- 3. EXPLOITING THE WOW FACTOR TO ENHANCE TEACHING PRACTICE The WOW factor is very much underrated when attempting to engage people in educational technology. I was always hearing ' you can't let the technology' lead, and yet all my most exciting moments, and those I observed in others, were when that it is exactly what we did - we followed the technology FOR ITS OWN SAKE and discovered wonderful things!

- 8. THEORIES ABOUT TECHNOLOGY 1. Technological determinism: technology is an external agent that acts upon people and changes society. 2. Social construction of technology (SCOT): it is human decisions and processes that create the technologies we have, and that the prevailing social milieu has an influential role in the decisions we make about how we use that technology. 3. A middle ground between people and machine is the theory of Social Shaping. Nancy Baym refers to technologies having ‘logics’ that influence how we use them. Nicholas Carr calls them ‘ethics’: “the message that a tool or medium transmits into the minds and culture of its users”

The ease and intuitiveness of a gestural interface makes the experience seem very natural, and even fun, making them relevant for learning at any age or level of study..

- 62. Organisations will need to adapt to the fact that web 2.0 citizens will enter places of work and learning highly connected to a network of peers that they rely on for entertainment, mutual learning, and collaboration. They may expect to be able to make use of these personal learning and social networks, and the technologies that make these networks possible, in their places of work or study. These web 2.0 citizens operate in a world that is open and mobile, and they are unlikely to accept authority that is automatically assigned to a position. Their world is flat and devoid of hierarchy. In a world where information about their areas of interest or expertise is increasing exponentially they will place greater store on connected networks, which may extend beyond classroom or workplace boundaries, and knowing where to get the knowledge and information they need, is more important than having that knowledge and information themselves. http://flickr.com/photos/7447470@N06/1345266896/
