BIGGEST CHALLENGES

FOR

INNOVATION IN SCHOOL

THE PRE COMPUTER GENERATION

INNVOATION WILL NOT COME FROM WITHIN

• No culture for failing in school

• Think outside the box

• Anti-for profit attitude

• Innovation comes when you put people in the same

room with different backgrounds and expertise

BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY

FOR

GAME BASED LEARNING

TRENDS

• The Game Boy Generation of teachers are taking over

• All schools have hardware – but lack solid content

• Bring Your Own Device concept adoption by schools

• VC money is looking for Ed Tech

WITHIN TWO YEARS

– PADS HAVE TAKEN OVER FROM THE BOOKS
