ReimaginED 2015: Trends in K12 EducationDavid Havens
We’re living in a time of tremendous technological change. In the next five years, another billion people will gain access to the internet. By 2020, 80% of the adults on Earth will have a smartphone, double what it is today.
We started the Seed Fund to seek out those places where technological change might be leveraged to improve education, and there is much to improve about our current system. One of the most troubling trends of the last decade is the decrease in educational mobility. As a country, we are doing worse than most at educating our neediest kids which now account for just over half of public school children.
For our neediest children, the problems are cumulative. A series of school failures and missed opportunities add up to an education of accumulated disadvantage, a reverse Matthew Effect of sorts. Our team is focused on how technology can be used to reduce and even eliminate these obstacles so that our school system is an escalator to opportunity for all.
We’ve invested in over 40 teams scaling ideas to improve our education system by empowering students, educators and families with the best tools technology has to offer. Through this lens, we share our second ReImaginED deck. Inspired by KPCB’s Mary Meeker’s widely shared Internet Trends deck, we set out to expose data about our K-12 education system and highlight some of the innovations in education technology. The goal of this deck is to draw out high level trends so it doesn’t include the human stories on the other side of these numbers and charts, see here for some of those.
In ReimaginED 2015 (building off the original published over a year ago), we review the latest systemic challenges, landscape shifts, and emerging innovations that are helping to solve these problems.
Let us know about other innovation trends you are seeing in the comments below or by sharing this on twitter, #ReimaginED2015.

There are three fundamental components of tacit knowledge – standard teaching, lectures and discussions, and deep interactions. E-learning has begun sowing seeds of inspiration in the field of executive education as well.
When discussion technology to reach the unreach, the focus shall be supporting the learners. What happens now, happens in the shift to a new paradigm of Lifelong Learning. While India as a young has great opportunities, one have to think on the changes taking place within the perspective of the huge innovations and technological changes that (will) take place.
The discussion on the trends observed, gives input to the message suggested to be:
Learners first. Learners are the future. They are here. Now. For a quality learning experience. Quality as priority 1.
Lead digital transformation. Lead transformation of education for SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.

Learning Models Evolve with Blended Learning on the RiseBlackboard
K-12 schools and districts understand that a personalized education experience increases student achievement and success, therefore many institutions are harnessing online learning technology to create blended learning programs to help meet diverse student needs. Although blended learning models differ drastically among K-12 institutions and are a product of the unique goals and challenges of the school, the importance of quality and accountability pertains to all. Join us for this webinar featuring Susan Patrick, President and CEO of iNACOL (International Association for K-12 Online Learning) and K-12 school district leaders for a discussion about how K-12 institutions across the globe are successfully implementing diverse blended learning models that maintain quality and accountability and enable student success.
