- The new age jobs; Today's youth is more inclined to learn something new every day; because their skills are supposed to sty good for their future job work. The US Bureau of statistics states that by 2020 employment in all computer occupation is bound to increase by 22%. At the pace with which technologies are moving forward, some of the jobs will not have been invented yet. While no one can now imagine what these jobs will be, they are sure to be rooted to be in technology. All policymakers and governments are taking note of this and this type of change is slowly and steadily happening.
- Common Core State StandardsThe common core standards CCSS are being implemented throughout the United States in 2014 and there is an emphasis on critical thinking, use of technology and writing in all curriculum. All organizations and educational companies are on board by using technologies and hardwares like tablets to bring digital textbooks and next generation of educational material to every classroom.
- Costs and expectations of all projects are shiftingMost of the skeptics revolve around the same issues surrounding the digital implementation; How to get funding? How to get equity? how to get tech support? and again how to get all three? While there are all important and valid questions; A full fledged implementation will require a change in thinking how our schools, society is currently spending money on education and how they would like to spend in the near future on education.
