Big data has the potential to improve education outcomes through personalization and helping educators improve instruction. It could lead to $300 billion in added economic growth annually in the US by improving K-12 and college instruction and making education more efficient. However, big data also poses threats if it is used to set students on "fixed futures" based solely on past performance data. Examples are given of companies using big data to understand challenges schools face, empower learning through adaptive platforms, integrate new software with existing data systems, and analyze math solutions in depth to help students improve.

Editor's Notes
- That’s orders of magnitute more data than facebook or netflix or even google collect on their users
- Hhh Using computes to improve edu has been one of the great unmet hope of tech revolution. Billtions have been spent, but most fundamental measure of student achievment has not improved
- Impossible to find out which company collects which data on children. Schools don’t know which tools teachers are using. I wonder – what interest would edtech companies have to give out that data- unless their only monetization source is advertising, which is rare in the ed space.
- 20k k 12 schools in may 14. Improve class management though single sign on/aPI. Enaglng teachers to enrol and track students, normally a time consumign process. First 20 minutes could easily spent on reconciling accounts and passwords. Different vendors pay clever, not the schools. Th30% of children move to a different school at least once. A lot of info gets lost in that process.
- Over 30 million teachers and students use Google Apps for Education when it comes to writing assignments, crafting presentations, and doing just about any kind of learning activity that includes the web. Today, the Internet search giant hopes to become an even bigger presence in schools with the pre-release announcement of Classroom, a free tool built on Google Apps for Education designed to help teachers organize, assign, and collect work done across Google Docs (which also includes Sheets and Slides) and Google Drive. managing classroom assignments will be even easier. Teachers can create a class and enroll students with their Google Apps for Education email, or by sharing a class code. Once the roster is set, teachers can create, assign, collect and grade assignments. They can also see in real-time how students are doing and offer feedback as well. The Knewton platform makes it possible for anyone to build applications that provide real-time proficiency estimation, activity recommendations, analytics, and more.
