Digital technology: Building pedagogical bridges between secondary and higher education with a focus on architectural engineering technology

Abstract

Digital technology is rapidly changing the way teachers teach throughout academia. The effect of technology on teaching falls into three areas: How traditional subjects and methods are affected by technology How technology provides new ways of teaching and learning New curriculum developed directly attributed to technology This is a continuation of research, dialogue and collaboration by the author with a local school district on this issue as well as the evolution of technology inclusion in the AET program at the University of Hartford. The collaboration, advanced study and research provide a better understanding for the critical need to build curricula and pedagogical bridges with K-12 school districts.
