It is a student-centered, networked, lifelong learning environment that leverages the talents of a multi-generational learning team whose members are drawn from all over the world. The continuing development of this next generation global education workforce to support the new “net” generation of self-paced lifelong learners is absolutely essential.

The globalization of the education industry will continues to accelerate. The classroom of the future will need to be further re-engineered and become capable of quickly adapting to meet multifunctional, multi-cultural requirements. Schools will no longer be simple learning spaces. They will become instead highly interconnected hubs and integral parts of global multi-generational networked learning communities. Soon the personalization of each student’s learning path via an individual development plan (IDP) will be the norm.

- Z+ E" n3 r4 \$ W5 G/ |. t( JThe maturing of cloud computing beyond Web 2.0 applications will create a launching pad for effective “global knowledge exchange” – i.e. the “weaving of a web of knowledge”. The process requires a shared context to facilitate the building of new relationships regardless of differences in geographic location. The process requires a new type of global learning community, an “intelligent human network”- i.e. a “net brain”. Hundreds of millions of learners, educators, mentors, social entrepreneurs, school administrators and other stakeholders - including countless virtual assistants/digital avatars - will routinely interconnect, communicate, share knowledge, and collaborate in real time.
