This document discusses future trends in education from 2012 to 2035. It provides information on current topics in education, science, technology and jobs. Some of the key points made are:
1) By 2025, education models may shift away from grade-based structures to peer groups organized by interest. Buildings will get smaller and more environmentally friendly.
2) Jobs that may become obsolete by 2025 include traditional desks, language labs, homework, and standardized tests. Skills needed for future jobs include social intelligence, cross-cultural competence, and virtual collaboration.
3) Emerging jobs include cyber security specialists, genetic counselors, organic farmers, and medical records administrators, to name a few. Stem

Professional Development Y3 ssp 12 13 l14Miles Berry
Many teachers might seem reluctant to make extensive use of ICT in their teaching or to teach the ICT curriculum as effectively as they might. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological change ensures that you and your colleagues face the continual challenge of staying up to date with technology and its use in schools. Web based communities and networks provide many opportunities for professional development and peer support.
We consider the importance of ongoing CPD and explore a number of approaches to this. Within a community of practice model, you reflect on the process of your professional formation as a teacher, comparing and contrasting this with your subsequent professional development.
I discuss a number of online resources, networks and communities of relevance to primary ICT or e-learning coordinators and you explore a number of these. We look at how you might facilitate your future colleagues professional development, through face-to-face gatherings and online communities.

2025: Visions for the Future of PublishingPaul Lomax
Can we predict the major trends that will affect publishing over the next ten years? I talked about the recent past and the future of publishing, including the App Store and digital editions, ad blocking, platforms, and print. http://www.pagelizard.com/2025-visions-for-the-future-of-publishing/
Hotel 2030 is a cross-sector platform that acts as a catalyst for open discussion on the possible changes facing the hospitality industry and associated innovations for hotels over the next 15 to 20 years.
As we explore potential changes, we see some trends having increasing impact. Based on discussion and feedback from hospitality companies, tourism experts and government bodies around the world, this summary shares insights on shifts by 2020.
The ten most significant trends that are seen as potentially impacting hotels in 2020 are:
African Travellers
500m new middle class in Africa require accessible hotel accommodation for both work and leisure across the continent
Co-Branded Experiences
Hotels partner with established consumer brands to deliver leading-edge, repeatable co-branded experiences
Dynamic Pricing
Transparent real-time pricing reflects personal ability to pay and enhances yield optimization across the service sector
Faith Compliance
More organizations flex their processes and proactively switch to become compliant with cultural norms and experiences
Female Centricity
New experiences are designed, and established ones reinvented, with the influential female population’s needs at the core
Final Frontiers
Increasing interest and participation in remote journeys drive more of us to seek to access the inaccessible
New Forms of Ownership
Shared co-operatives, partnerships and membership funding business models replace franchising and direct ownership
Smart Buildings
Increasingly intelligent, self-monitoring buildings set new standards as big data is shared between operations and providers
Upstream Insight
Companies and networks have, and act on, very early insight on future intent to travel and customise services to suit
Waste Reuse
Seeing waste as a resource and encouraging its reuse within the footprint shifts many towards the circular economy
A presentation examining the "Jobs of the Future", the challenges they present, and actionable steps to "Keep Pace" going forward

Hotel 2030 Emerging Trends - Initial Perspectives May 2013Tim Jones
Hotel 2030 is a cross-sector platform that aims to act as a catalyst for open discussion on the possible changes facing the hospitality industry and the associated innovation opportunities for hotels over the next 15 to 20 years. Starting with initial perspectives drawn from a number of studies already undertaken by varied companies and academics, as with the futureagenda programme, the intent is that interested organizations around the world will use this material to challenge assumptions, identify gaps, add their own views and collectively co-create a richer, deeper dialogue of possible futures in the hospitality sector.

Presentation at Kigali Institute of Education - Setember 2009Juliano Bittencourt
This was a talk I gave to the students and professors of Kigali Institute of Education. If focused on the ideas that founded OLPC and the problems a large scale project faces.
Social media is rapidly changing education and school environments, from students’ educational experiences to its use as a communication and information sharing tool for the education profession.
Australia has always been one of the fastest growing early adopter markets for new platforms and technologies. Coupled with the National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout, we will see even faster adoption and use. The NBN will provide enhanced infrastructure for delivering rich multimedia experiences and cloud-hosted applications in education. Over the next five years, the use of tablet devices like the iPad will become the norm and the desktop computer will disappear.
Understanding what the future will look like from a technology perspective is key to being able to develop the skills to maximise the opportunities it offers. The skills needed for teachers, students and parents in technology are quickly changing. Social media is at the forefront of this, with use and time spent in Australia online increasing significantly every year.
Understanding how to collect and share information and observe appropriate online etiquette in safe and secure ways are important concerns for educators, especially with the rapid uptake of social media. The aim of this workshop is to provide a picture of Australia’s current online usage and behaviour, outline broad international trends and their application in education and provide the opportunity to develop a safe and practical understanding of social media technologies that would be valuable in professional practice in education.
How do we educate children and develop talent to help them thrive in the future as also address the problems of the future? Why are special enrichment programs required for academically gifted students? Details about the GenWise team and GenWise programs

22. 21st Century Life: Will Your Kids be Ready?
by Maria Chesley Fisk, Ph.D.
http://www.thinkparenting.com/teach-your-kids-to-think.html
1. Affirm the importance of your role as a teacher to your child.
Reflect and learn more about what and how teach and help your child
prepare for her future.
2. Help your child think of learning as a life-LONG process.
Mere memorization and acquisition of knowledge just won't work
anymore.
3. Help your child think of learning as a life-WIDE process.
Encourage her to embrace opportunities for learning and self-
improvement at home, at school, on the internet, and in the community.
4. Focus on communication skills. Today's future adults will need to effectively
express their thoughts and questions.
5. Think global.
Help your child learn about the cultures and languages around him and
across the globe.
6. Instill in your child the understanding that if he works hard, he can learn and
improve in any area.
She should wholeheartedly believe he can utilize resources and sincere
effort to better learn and do what it is he cares about.
7. Be a learner yourself!
Point out to your child, for example, how you thoughtfully enter new
situations, set goals, and draw on resources that help create and sustain
positive change and learning.
