With the growth of online education sites such as Khan Academy and many university courses which come under the banner of MOOC’s (Massive Open Online Courses) the nature of education is changing where some schools in the USA are using these as the curriculum and the teachers are fewer in number but use the backup from the internet to check and assess the work of the pupils.
If you think this is a problem for individual teachers imagine what this could mean for the institutions of teaching such as the independent schools and universities.
The answer is to be aware of this and use the technology to your advantage, because no one knows where this is going. Use this as an opportunity you will be better off than just sitting back as if nothing is happening which is exactly what I see in the schools as I travel around.
