11. Key Trends
Social media is changing the way people interact, present
ideas and information, and communicate.
Education paradigms are shifting to include online learning,
hybrid learning, and collaborative models.
People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever
and wherever they want.
As the cost of technology drops and school districts revise and
open up their access policies, it is becoming more common for
students to bring their own mobile devices.
Openness — concepts like open content, open data, and open
resources, along with notions of transparency and easy access
to data and information — is becoming a value.

12. Significant Challenges
Current approaches to initial teacher training and in-service
training in digital tools and pedagogies are insufficient for the
need.
Teachers and schools remain dependent on physical textbooks.
Digital skills and the use of ICT for learning do not appear to be
embedded in reform efforts, measurement strategies,
prioritized areas and national programmes to any appreciable
extent.
The demand for personalized learning is not adequately
supported by current technology or practices.
Digital literacy in the curriculum should be revised or
embedded in new ways.
