“…As educational technologists work with new challenging hardware designs such as wearable and implantable devices, it will be Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies that enable these devices to work in familiar ways. While the details of this challenge is beyond the scope of this article, it is safe to say that educational technologists must continually research and seek training on device and software functionality, as well as interconnectivity issues that include ethically compliant challenges of access, privacy, security and even environmental issues [36].…”

Abstract:In 1972, Edsger Dijkstra claimed that computers had only introduced the new problem of learning to use them effectively. This is especially true in 2015 with regard to powerful new educational technologies. This article describes the challenges that 21st century educational technologists are, and will be, addressing as they undertake the effective integration of new technologies into K-12 educational systems and learning environments. The expanding Internet, ever more powerful mobile devices, and other innovations make the task of designing effective formal and informal learning challenging, especially in light of the high rate of change in these new technologies. While these technologies introduce many benefits, they are also causing serious threats to system security and personal privacy. Furthermore, as these technologies continue to evolve, ethical issues such as equal access to resources become imperative. Educational technologists must expand their forward-thinking leadership and planning competencies so as to ensure effective use of new technologies.
