Abstract

It is ironic that pundits are predicting all sorts of “disruptions” in education – while education has typically been highly resistant to change. Online delivery of classes has arguably been the single most disruptive change in higher education in recent memory. While considerable effort has been expended on integrating online education into K-12, K-12 has been only marginally impacted by the online disruption. However, the mobile disruption that is fast engulfing all institutions may well prove to be the truly disruptive event. With mobile technologies growing at 50% a year, its impact has only just begun to be felt. In our presentation, we will explore the implications of the coming mobile disruption on K-20.
