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.
