2019

2019

That’s the year Scott McLeod says we’re without a paddle.

Here’s the equation from his NECC session this afternoon:

K-12 education is facing disruptive innovation. It’s [called] personalized learning.

The existing educational model is not a given.

All of this is going to sneak up on educational organizations.

Looking at the exponential curve with regards to technology and personalization in education, McLeod predicts half of high school courses will be online by 2019.

Another way of thinking about it is like this: in ten years time, most of the basics of how we’ve thought about servicing education will be toast.

We'd be wise to review Dewey: "Communication is shared experience". And while we're at it, let's update Dewey: "Communication is shared experience is education. And immediate, global, connected shared experience is communication".

Ten years.
