A Brief History of the Future of Education: Learning in the Age of Disruption

Apps and advanced algorithms can’t replace teachers - more accurately, they can’t replace good teachers. However, based on the way many teachers often spend their time, adaptive hardware and software can and will automate many traditional teaching and learning tasks such as delivering content, assessing learning, and communicating with parents. This book considers how visual learning; social learning; the age of super-mobility; and big data, gaming, and personalization are changing the face of education. Educational leaders will have to help create a vision to change traditional schools. Technology learning specialists will have to help educators and leaders alike in embracing tools to improve modern-day teaching, learning, and assessment.
