A vision for education in 2019
“School will become a 24 hour around the clock opportunity
with students logging into school from “home.” The role of the
teacher will be to lead and assist students in “discovering”
the uses for the technology and information. Every student
from Pre-K through twelfth grade will have access to learning
through the most advanced IT devices available. Learning will
occur online at least 80% of the time. School buildings will
be open on evenings and Saturdays for remediation, recreation
and community activities for the purpose of socialization.”
