The articles in each category provide a quick overview of some of the trends that we are seeing in the transport sector, and allow teachers and students to gain an insight into the areas in which we will likely see innovation, deployment and opportunity over the coming decade.
As we’re reading and researching articles, anything that doesn’t fit our usual categories goes into our ‘cool and interesting’ file, and posts like this one are the result. You might like to use these as a provocation for a planned discussion or lesson, or just a random piece of knowledge that people might be interested in. Let’s begin!
The gig economy is growing, and it’s very likely that today’s school students will be involved in it in some form or another during their working lives. It’s a different type of work, and they will need to have their eyes open to what to expect.
In truth, no one actually knows what’s going to happen, and advocates who make predictions about the future of work (and learning) can seize pieces of information and incomplete research to make assumptions. We have to recognise our own biases, along with tendencies to assume and make connections that don’t necessarily exist.
It’s not possible to accurately predict the future, of course. However it is possible to get a sense of how things are likely to change over the coming 10 to 15 years. Today’s 5 year olds will enter the workforce from about 2032 to 2037, and as you’ll see below the working environment that they join will be dramatically different from the one we experience today. So what’s going on, and what’s likely to happen?
The week we’re looking at privacy, how everyday technology affects our privacy, and what we need to be mindful of when we connect.
We start this week by sharing one example of the development of personalised learning through the use of technology. Some argue that personalised learning through tech. (that responds to and provides for diverse student needs) is an essential next step for scaling quality learning, while others suggest that while useful, it may not be a panacea.
To start this week’s look at automation and implications for learning in schools, the World Economic Forum and McKinsey have shared insights from Davos on the future of learning and work and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The importance of workforce retraining is a major common theme across the many articles we read when looking at the future of learning and work. The automation of once-routine tasks is already leading to human work being
This article takes a close look at data and privacy, how they are connected, how they’re changing and what this might mean for students and schools.
