10th Annual National Event
WHY ATTEND
Learning Counsel News Media & Research has been editorializing, surveying and projecting what will happen with schools since 2014. Prior to the pandemic, and accelerating after, our research led to big discoveries in the structure of learning delivery in schools being stuck in similar patterns of time and space use for the past two hundred years, or optionally largely online with little human interaction. Continuing thought leadership in the arena of how hybrid schools could use commercial advanced logistics and A.I. to shift delivery continues to be a major point of discussion in all events. Helping schools, districts, and the edtech community reorganize towards flexible learning that is highly personalized while retaining its humanity is what will be highlighted to contextualize every part of this virtual event.
AGENDA
10:00-11:00 am 10th Annual Digital Transition Survey Market Briefing & Awards Announcements
See the results and analysis from the 10th Annual Digital Transition Survey. What are American schools spending on technology? What are their important issues, trends, and plans? What elements of strategy are in use? What master schedule flexibilities are offered? What do schools think of A.I.? Which trends are influencing policies and purchases? How is the definition of a teacher changing? What do teacher’s spend the most time on? How are traditional schools stacking up against alternatives? Learn about what all of the trends converging mean for the future of education.
