Data, data, and more data
Social Changes

4. TECHNOLOGY
Year after year, it has been proven that technology is going to be a
important part of education. Media, especially electronic media,
seem to have become a preferred vehicle for receiving information.
I believe this will have and is having a huge implications for the
projects we plan in schools, the nature of the curriculum, the models
we use to evaluate our successes, and the equipment used in future
classrooms.

Video imagery has been described as a “tool of the mind” (Forman 1999, 1)
that has the potential to help children relive their experiences and process
them in deeper, more focused, and more detailed ways.

5. Classrooms can be located anywhere.
At home
around the world
Smartphone, iPad.
Education can be in the palm of you hand.

7. DATA
Unfortunately, classrooms are getting more crowed, and teachers are getting
students with diverse learning styles, so it is important that the classroom is
driven by data.
It will be necessary to have personalized learning plans and to revolutionize
instruction in the classroom.
This is essential for education change. No matter where are students are
located,. Whereas if they are in the classroom, at home, or in the park. If
teachers are using data, it will drive instruction.

8. TRENDS IN DIGITAL LEARNING
Key Findings from this year’s report include:
More than 9 out of 10 administrators say that the effective use of technology within instruction
is important for achieving their school or district’s core mission of education and
preparation of students.
Over three-quarters of parents (78%) say that the best way for their child to develop the
college, career and citizen ready skills they will need for future success is to use
technology on a regular basis within his or her daily classes at school.
Two-thirds of middle school students (64%) agree that effective technology use increases
their interest in what they are learning at school.
Three-quarters of principals attribute increased student engagement in learning to the
effective use of digital content in their blended learning classrooms
52% of teachers in blended classrooms say that their students are developing collaboration
skills as a result of using technology within learning; 61% of their students agree!
Almost three-quarters of technology leaders (73%) say that their school or district is now
offering online courses for their students. Top subjects offered: Math, Social
Studies/History, English Language Arts, Science and World Languages.

10. SOCIAL CHANGES
There is a rapidly expanding mix of culture and ethnicity in our classrooms,
and it is changing demographics that will affect U.S. education.
It is important that are lessons are relevant to our students. Even though
American culture has changed rapidly since civil rights legislation that was
passed in the 1960s. Teachers still need to be mindful of different cultures,
and their social economic needs. It is important that we meet their social
needs as well as their education.
