AS 516: EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY

Educational Innovation is the application of significant changes and practices in the

educational context applied to improve the teaching-learning process.
It’s not only more than new technology. It’s about solving a real problem in a fresh,
simple way to promote equity and improve learning. Innovation in education comes in many
forms. Programs, services, processes, products and partnerships can all enhance education
outcomes in innovative ways. Innovation in education means solving a real problem in a
new, simple way to promote equitable learning.
Innovation in education matches the scale of the solution to the scale of the
challenge. It draws on the creativity and experience of communities.
Today and tomorrow, the world needs individuals who can manipulate critical and
creative thinking skills to solve problems as a team. With technology, the way knowledge is
obtained, constructed and communicated have completely transformed and altered. When
it comes to education, it is a matter of question whether education is capable of creating
critical and creative thinkers who can answer the needs of social and economic world of
today and tomorrow. On the other hand, computers and smart devices are threatening the
integrity of knowledge and knowing by damaging the authority of teachers in classrooms
changing the way teachers are perceived. Therefore, terms such as guide, facilitator or
coach have started to sound interchangeable with the word teacher. It is a widely known
fact that schools are the learning environments for children.
Innovation is one of those words we like to throw around whenever
possible. To innovate means to make changes or do something a new way. To innovate does
not require you to invent. Baked into innovation are creativity and adaptability.
Innovation in education isn’t a specific term with fixed definitions. The spirit
of innovation education is an openness to looking with fresh eyes at problems and to
address them in different, new ways. It is a recognition that we don’t have all the answers
and are open to new approaches to improve such as methods of knowledge transfer with
innovative teaching strategies.
As teachers, our goal is to educate students. Educated students are then able to
advance their education further to get whatever degree or certification they need to
eventually succeed in a career that they find rewarding and give back to their community.
One of the key challenges employers face today is that their employees are struggling to
meet the challenges of ever changing skills requirements.
 The main goal of this Educational Innovation is to improve our educational situations
and also to create students who are efficient and effective to their studies. This will also
improve work in our chosen profession and give us more ideas especially in creating new
perspective for our future.
