| | SEPTEMBER - 20216EditorialTo say that the COVID-19 pandemic has been drastically changing the K 12 education system might be an understatement. For instance, the lockdown of educational institutions has caused major disruptions in K 12 learning, accounting for the cancellations of public standardized tests and the complete transition from physical classes to digital learning spaces. And when schools started last fall amid the pandemic, some of the largest school districts saw an unprecedented downfall in student enrolment, with safety concerns just being one of the many reasons for this back-to-school reticence. Adding to it, with President Joe Biden's call for transforming the K 12 system, it is evident that K 12 learning is set for a considerable overhaul in the coming years.On that front, technology will play an ever-prominent role in shaping the classrooms of the future. The learning environments will increasingly integrate leading-edge technologies, such as augmented and virtual realities (AR and VR), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, cloud computing, gamification, and the internet of things (IoT), to deliver enhanced hybrid and virtual learning experiences marked by connectivity and collaboration. Together, these technologies will usher in countless changes in teaching and learning, making them more student-centric and data-driven.In this edition of Education Technology Insights, we bring you the story of some of the most promising K 12 solution providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
