The “first wave” of digital education—almost 10 years in the making—focused
on creating, sharing, and accessing instructional content in digital forms.
Despite these initial efforts to digitalize education, our society currently faces
three key issues: skills gaps; low return on investment (ROI) from K-12 and
higher education; and the need for innovation within global and competitive
workplaces.

Is technology the answer,
or at least part of the
answer, to these
problems?

Integrated next-generation technologies may be able to equip students with the
means to continue their education their entire lives. These technologies address
three goals: fortifying student skills, increasing education’s ROI, and enabling
students to be innovative and entrepreneurial.
To get there, education technology providers will likely need to shift their focus
from content to connections.

High Tech High (HTH) operates 12 charter schools in California and brings
together students, teachers, administrators, and parents through practical hands-
on training, experiential learning, coupled with traditional academic education to
prepare students for college in both technical fields and liberal arts.
To maximize connectivity, HTH employs PowerSchool, a web-based student
information portal that allows teachers to record attendance and grades. Parents
and students can also access real-time learning and performance information,
communicate with teachers, and track assignments. Further, administrators can
create an efficient school schedule that accounts for multiple constraints such as
room capacity, teacher preparation periods, and student scheduling priority. HTH
also uses Naviance, which helps bring together core ecosystem participants.
HTH students have completed more than 1,000 experiential learning projects in
over 300 community businesses and organizations, including Qualcomm and
Fox News. Of HTH’s high school graduates, 98 percent attended college, while
over 30 percent entered science or math fields.

Integrated student learning life cycle
To offer a continuous learning experience—right from K-12 to the workplace—
educators and trainers should connect in-classroom to real-world learning
in a way that is tailored to the needs, learning styles, passion, and potential of
each student.
For students, technology can play a role in integrating all the aspects of their
learning life cycle.

The Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center (MET), opened in with a
mandate to design a ‘school for the 21st century’ that would impact the
community by producing skilled graduates, lifelong learners, and responsible
citizens.
Students spend two days per week engaged in learning outside of the classroom
with a mentor, who is an expert in the students’ field of interest. Advisors meet
with students and mentors, to help students develop real-world projects and
build long-term personal relationships with their mentors—paving the way for
lifelong learning.
Students can develop deeper understanding by actually doing and making things
and applying their knowledge rather than just gathering information online.

Integrated technology solutions
Between 2010 and 2014, the number of partnerships and alliances between ed-
tech solution providers has more than tripled. This integration between diverse
technology solutions will ultimately create better learning experiences for
students.
Ed-tech companies are collaborating to integrate elements of game-based
learning and simulations, experiential learning, augmented reality, and interactive
tools as part of their offerings.
