Over the past several years a number of technology trends have emerged that together have transformed our world, economically and socially. Our education system is not immune to these changes. From
technologically savvy digital-natives, to the increasingly competitive
global economy to the social transformation brought about by the
internet, the students attending our schools and the expectations they
need to meet have changed considerably. Mr. Magner will examine these trends, explore their implications for our education system, and discuss a collaborative approach to evolving schools to meet the needs of this changing world.
