2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition » Critical Challenges - 0 views

  • Schools need to adapt to current student needs and identify new learning models that are engaging to younger generations.

  • Technology tools that are part of everyday life for many students and working professionals should be seen as core tools of the teaching profession that teachers are required to master as any professional would master the tools of his or her trade.
  • Learners have increasing opportunities to take their education into their own hands, and options like informal education, online education, and home-based learning are attracting students away from traditional educational settings. If the system is to remain relevant it must adapt, but major change comes hard in education.
