Ollie Bray is a national adviser for emerging technologies in learning at Learning and Teaching Scotland. He discusses five examples of how emerging technologies can be used in education: 1) technologies like social media can engage audiences and enable collaboration; 2) technologies can provide real-time data to improve attainment; 3) social media is becoming ingrained in society so schools need strategies for classroom management; 4) teachers require professional development on technologies; and 5) businesses seek employees with digital skills to meet 21st century challenges, but also responsibilities like trust, respect, and risk awareness.
