To that end, digital learning is leveling the playing field for far-flung disadvantaged students who previously would have had no chance to be part of this new workforce, as well as boosting the skills of students and workers closer to home. Cloud, virtualization, and software-defined networking\u2014along with consumer electronic devices\u2014are among the many advanced technologies enabling this development.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The potent combination of globalization and digital transformation is upending the requirements for tomorrow\u2019s workforce, underscoring the need for programs like the VMware-powered curriculum at the LEAP school. Such digital learning initiatives shift emphasis away from rote book- and lecture-style teaching to interactive experiences focused on collaboration, personalized content, and hands-on problem solving. The ability to leverage core IT infrastructure such as virtualized servers, networking, and storage, in concert with mobile technology, enables students in remote communities from Diepsloot to rural America to participate in digital learning experiences to which they previously had no access.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nNew learning prototypes are critical as the accelerated pace of change disrupts traditional business models and creates new 21<sup>st<\/sup> century jobs that demand different skill sets.

At the same time, the report found that 65 percent of children entering primary school today will end up working in jobs that don\u2019t currently exist, underscoring the need for new skills training using hands-on and exploratory learning techniques.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology Moves to the Head of the 21st Century Classroom\u00a0&#8212; from technologyreview.com &nbsp; Tomorrow\u2019s jobs will demand collaborative workers steeped in hands-on problem solving.
