This document discusses equipping students for the future with technology skills. It notes that currently 50% of jobs require technology skills, a number expected to rise to 77% in the next 10 years. Many future jobs will also require skills like remote work, online collaboration, and digital communication. However, technology in schools is often absent, creating a disconnect between student life in and out of school. Blended learning combines traditional instruction with online learning using mobile devices to achieve optimal outcomes. Successful technology integration in schools requires focus on infrastructure, processes, and training for students, teachers, administrators and support staff.

Editor's Notes
