Ten Trends 2019 Live Now!

One for my Kiwi readers.

Ten Trends 2019 View this email in your browser

Kia ora Michael We are very excited to announce the release of CORE Education’s Ten Trends 2019. We have been featuring these Trends for over ten years; focusing in particular on the trends and influences shaping how we live, work and learn – brought about by the increasing use of technology in our modern world. This year we have tried to create a focus within the Ten Trends on the impact of change on society, communities and individuals and go further than simply explain this as something that is inevitably going to occur. Instead, we provide provocations that question the value of the change, and implications for us as humans – now and into the future. We hope you enjoy the read. For those of you who are not familiar with the Ten Trends please read on for more background information. Alternatively, you can follow the link and read the Trends now. Read Ten Trends online Download the Ten Trends 2019 document What are the Ten Trends? Each year, CORE Education’s experienced staff of researchers, educators, and digital technology experts pool their expertise and share their understandings to identify the trends and influences that are expected to make a growing impact upon education in New Zealand in the coming year. What is the purpose of the Trends? Our intention is to promote informed discussion – within and among educational communities and educators – so that as a profession, we are equipped with the knowledge and understandings that we can then use to make wise choices and decisions in our respective settings. How are the Trends organised? The Trends are focused on five key categories that are referred to in much of the future-focused literature, with two specific trends identified in each category. One of the trends illustrates an example that has immediate implications for educational organisations and educators. The other looks at a more ‘disruptive’ trend – something to watch in the future, that we need to be thinking about and preparing for now. What’s special about the 2019 Trends? In 2019, we have chosen to focus more specifically on where all of this is leading, in terms of the relationship between the technological change occuring, and our responses as humans. We consider the responsibility we have to ensure that in the midst of such complex and persistent change, we don’t abdicate our humanity and the things that make us ‘human’. Consideration from a cultural perspective We are particularly mindful of the impacts of this change from a cultural perspective. We need to understand and appreciate the different world views that exist and how these will determine the ways in which these changes are embraced. We hope that the Trends stimulate valuable discussion among your colleagues, peers and the wider community. Read Ten Trends online Download the Ten Trends 2019
