The education industry is perched to undergo profound change. Technologies have redesigned the way of teaching and learning. Over the past years, the shift from print to digital has impacted how we learn. With the advent of the internet and the rapid advancement of technology, educators are beginning to envision novel learning experiences and environments. In order to transform K-12 education, educational institutions need to integrate learning options with organizational design and new technologies to take personalized learning to next level.
From learning analytics tools that provide students with instant feedback on their work to virtual reality tools and 3D printers, the classroom looks quite a bit different than it did just five years ago. With all of these technologies populating classrooms this year, it is also more integral that educator instills students with the tenets of digital citizenship.
