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.4 l5 b/ |) v( ?" e

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.

The 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.
