Technology is undeniably changing the face of education, and it is now easy to see the impact already. Imagine what classroom will be like in 20 years with the speed of technological innovation.
Today, more than 91% of teachers have computers or laptops in their classroom, but currently, only 1 out of 5 feel that their classroom have the right level of technology.
Nevertheless, our studying and learning cultures have been shifting as compared to our early years.

In the next decade, open source textbooks are expected to grow to 25% of the textbook market. Now, at least every 6 out of 10 students have used a digital textbook, as compared to just 4 out of 10 back in 2011.
81% of the teachers believe that using tablets enrich classroom learning
86% of the students believe they study more efficiently with tables. 1 in 5 students have used a mobile app to keep their coursework organized. 59% of students would like to use their own devices to enhance learning.
