New Year, New Learning: Reflections on Education in 2018 and Beyond | EdSurge Guides | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
Each year, EdSurge asks thought leaders, educators and entrepreneurs to reflect on the state of education technology, and share their thoughts on where it’s headed. We’re continuing that tradition again this year, but with an added twist: Writers from 2017 were asked to nominate who they would like to hear from this time around. And the EdSurge editorial team also reached out to a few new voices to get their thoughts.

A few major themes and recurring threads have popped up this year. We heard from a number of instructors, experts and even CEOs in the higher-ed space on why one of the biggest challenges facing students and educators today—and into the future—has to do with digital literacy, authenticity and teaching students of all ages about getting the facts straight in an increasingly digital world.
