Trend Impact Quest - (Navigate 4.1.1)

Trends are Everywhere... Including Education!  

In this quest, I will explore the top trend in the future of education and the impact it will likely make in the next five years.  

According to this study, featured in the graphic below, the number one trend in the future of education is "Web-based Tools for Educational Purposes" and I couldn't agree more fully with this prediction.  Online learning is growing at an exponential rate, both in K12 and post secondary venues.  People want a choice in how they educate themselves and their children.  They also want a choice in how they access these educational opportunities.  The more online education expands and grows, the more it will need more tools that are, at least in some ways, unique to education.  

The skies the limit!  As more and more educators explore the possibility of making online education a part of their world, even more tools and web based learning opportunities will be made accessible to every student who desires to learn.  This is indeed a very exciting time in education! :)
