Emerging Ed Tech continued this week with a series of posts that examine applications of education technology that have produced measurable, positive results. We are proud to share our research study results are featured in yesterday's post:

This week we learn about a study conducted around teacher use of the Atomic Learning professional development solution and it’s impact on student learning.

...This study provides yet another example of how instructional technologies and technology integration in education truly can make a measurable difference in student engagement and student learning."

We found this article on educatorstechnology.com, and immediately thought of our educator friends! If you're working with students and iPads, check it out to help you integrate iPads into your classroom.

Atomic Learning is here to help you along the way, from iPad training tutorials to projects and workshops, we've got your iPad resources covered. Or, if your district is embarking on a mobile initiative, check out Atomic Learning's Atomic Mobilize solution to learn from educators and school leaders who have been there, done that.

Check out this Education Industry Insight presentation at the Gilfus Education Group's Innovation Showcase Theater: "Planning for the Technology Components of Common Core" presented by Jeffrey Roth of Atomic Learning. Recorded at the annual ASCD Conference, Philadelphia, March 2012.

For a demo of Atomic TechCore, Atomic Learning's suite of tools developed to guide school leaders in building their Common Core implementation road maps, click here.

This infographic created by Lenovo and Intel shows the growth in ed tech, the scope of ongoing changes in educational technology, how the technology is being used, the growing trend in learning devices, and ultimately why schools should embrace mobility.

We stumbled across this infographic while on the edudemic.com website and couldn't help but share. It's written with wittiness, but has some helpful information as well (like how to pronounce MOOC!) Enjoy!
