Parts of the world continue to have to close and reopen schools,demanding agility to address whatever options are available for instructional continuity.Others are challenged with significant shifts in culture and practice driven by
9、 sometimestoo-rapid changes, as all this newfound technology returning to schools is pushingagainst the pressures of change resistance and the status quo.The past year has seen several countries prioritizing internet access as a requirement foreveryone to fully participate as productive citizens and
10、 contributors to economic health.This is paired with a significantly increased interest in investing more heavily tomodernize and digitalize education systems. Part of this years trends reflect this broaderinvestment in educational technology as a whole.These trends are in part a refinement of the t
11、rends started during the pandemic, and inpart a reflection of new realities taking shape. This year, the “hybrid world” trend is refinedto the more specific “digital learning environments,” reflecting the need to think in multipledimensions about how, when and where learning takes place.

Requirements for agile,flexible learning environments still include the unique requirements for hybrid learning, butdefining and refining great DLEs requires more.DLEs relate
21、to learning technology ecosystems created to support fully online, hybrid and physical teaching practices.K-12 organizations are faced with a major opportunity. Previous desires to create a “moredigital education system” have meant that investments made over the course of thepandemic represent a gia
22、nt leap forward that might never otherwise have happened. Thishas forced a whole new conversation about what we mean when we say we want “digitallearning environments.”This trend represents an evolved recognition that K-12 needs a new way to adapt flexiblemodels for instructional delivery under almo
23、st any conditions. The new DLE combines thelong-standing understanding of what makes a great learning environment with the uniqueattributes that can be added through the use of digital resources.This Years Top Five Trends in K-12 EducationTrend 1Digital Learning EnvironmentsTrend 2Learning Insights/

25、 these new digital capabilities). The need todefine and understand DLEs has been pushed to the front burner for K-12 organizations,needing them now rather than “eventually.”A good digital learning environment does require classroom technologies, but is notdefined by those alone, and discussions shou

35、ster, more-accurate and more-actionable insight into a students learning. These technologies include (and in some cases, were represented in the 2021 top K-12 trends) digital assessments, analytics and learning management systems (LMSs) (see Top 5 Trends Impacting K-12 Education in 2021).Why Trendin
36、g:The pandemic created a shocking impact on students around the world, as they faced weeks or months or, in some cases, nearly two years of missed school. This gap in time spent in quality learning environments (or spent in less than ideal ones) created terrible losses for students in subject matter
37、 areas that now hold them back from reaching their appropriate grade levels. Some organizations have responded more quickly and effectively than others to execute on strategies to address this. Organizations have rapidly moved to leverage digital to improve learning insights and assess the critical
38、gaps (and how best to fill them).This requires tools that are much more capable and useful than the traditional means of assessment that education has long depended on, such as simple quizzes and tests. A combination of technologies and creative ways to combine them are needed to gain critical insig
39、ht faster, and more specifically to target and address students learning gaps as quickly as possible.Analytics can provide a roadmap for the organization, school or teacher to map out a plan of attack via traditional interventions. However, technologies can make this process more personalized, scala
40、ble and faster to get to the best course of action. For example, adaptive learning systems (see Trend 5) can be leveraged to create assessments of a particular curriculum providers content, target key prerequisite skills and recommend a personalized remediation plan for each student. Effective analy
41、tics tools can be used as well to continuously reassess and identify any students not ready to move forward.With a problem so large and complex, education leadership is turning to these technologies to meet those challenges, which it would likely be unable to address well at scale otherwise.Implicat
42、ions:Gartner, Inc. | G00761189Page 8 of 16No organization is likely to be able to redo 2020-21 entirely, and even if they could, itwould only set students further behind. The ability to quickly identify the “stepping stone”skills for students that will be needed to do a collapsed version of instruct
43、ional plans tocatch up will be required, but it will be very challenging.Looking at the combination of technologies and capabilities they bring to the organizationwill be a necessary and important part of leveraging digital to help address a majorproblem. The K-12 CIO, along with key stakeholders ac

A ransom is then demanded to prov
46、ide access. Ransomware is often designed tospread across a network and target database and file servers, and can thus quicklyparalyze an entire organization.Assess the organizations current capabilities across the full spectrum of learninginsights technologies by engaging partners from the teaching

48、on, creating something all your key stakeholders canactually use.Gartner, Inc. | G00761189Page 9 of 16Why Trending:Education has become a favorite target for ransomware attacks for several reasons. K-12 education has for many years lacked the resources (or reasons for concern) to make big investment
49、s in cybersecurity. This lack of attention has been costly, as the past few years have shown a massive increase in cybercriminal interest in education. Indeed, it is now viewed as the ideal “soft target.” Defenses have been easy to penetrate, and organizations have been slow to address this problem,
50、 often for lack of expertise (see IT Key Metrics Data 2022: IT Security Measures Analysis).Additionally, bad actors are very aware of the impact of shutting down a K-12 environment. They know these organizations not only manage sensitive data, but are also under significant time pressures. Unlike th
