The document summarizes a presentation about trends in technology in schools. It discusses how technology can enhance teaching and learning by facilitating new pedagogies. It also talks about how technology improves workflow and efficiency through communication and sharing. The presentation provides examples of how Rio Tinto uses technology for remote mining in Western Australia. It discusses views from Satya Nadella on cloud computing and the trends of technology becoming more ubiquitous through cloud and hybrid models. The presentation addresses how technology will become less prominent in schools, allowing learning anywhere on any device, and how digital literacy will become as important as numeracy and literacy. It contrasts traditional hierarchical school models with modern flat and connected models, and how these shift the focus from memorization to application

19. Make or Break: The UK’s Digital Future
 A culture of learning for life
 10% of the workforce to have high-level digital skills by 2020
 No child leaves the education system without basic numeracy, literacy and
digital literacy, including:
 digital literacy is taught as a core subject alongside numeracy and
literacy, embedded across all subjects and throughout the curriculum;
 more focus is placed on building links with employers (including
somebody from industry on the governing body of every school); and
 delivery of the new computing curriculum is seen as a priority. In
particular more investment in training new teachers and speed and
urgency to train existing teachers.
