The document discusses how technology is changing the future of education. It notes that today's students have grown up with technology as a natural part of their lives. As a result, education technology is shifting from single-screen, device-focused experiences to multiplatform, cloud-based systems that can be accessed anywhere and are highly adaptable. This allows for more open, collaborative, and fun forms of learning that develop important job skills for careers that have not even been invented yet.

This is the first generation of
people that work, play, think and
learn differently than their
parents. They are the first
generation to not be afraid of
technology. It’s like the air to
them.
