K12 Edition

9.  The abundance of resources and relationships made
easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly
challenging us to revisit our roles as educators.
Key Trends
 As IT support becomes more and more decentralized,
the technologies we use are increasingly based not on
school servers, but in the cloud.
 People expect to be able to work, learn, and study
whenever and wherever they want to.
 The perceived value of innovation and creativity is
increasing.
 Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we
work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.

10. Significant Challenges  The demand for personalized learning is not
adequately supported by current technology or
practices.
 Digital media literacy continues its rise in importance
as a key skill in every discipline and profession.
 Economic pressures and new models of education are
presenting unprecedented competition to traditional
models of schools.
 A key challenge is the fundamental structure of the
K-12 education establishment — aka the system.
 Many activities related to learning and education take
place outside the walls of the classroom and thus are
not part of our learning metrics.
