Where is education going? What ideas are taking place now that are "disrupting" it to the point it will change? This post explores this, focusing on the following eight ideas.
1. Connectivity is replacing knowledge.
2. Students are clients.
3. Adaptive software can replace 75% of what a teacher does.
4. YouTube is way, way more engaging than reading and writing.
5. Reading and writing should be social.
6. The disruption of mobile technology will be complete.
7. Parent's don't understand teaching and learning.
8. Universities are decaying.
