across the country. Teachers, administrators, families, and
community groups are putting a critical focus on social-
emotional learning activities to facilitate a better look into
dealing with anger management, conflict resolution, empathy,
and other important life skills. School is often the only place
where social and emotional learning deficiencies can be
addressed; therefore teaching students these invaluable life
skills ultimately prepares them to become active members of
society. This is another pivotal point in a teacher’s role in the
classroom.
Teachers continue to play an integral role in the lives of
students, one that cannot be replaced with even the most
advanced type of technology. This isn’t to say that the way
we taught even 15 years ago is suitable. Teachers’ roles are
continually changing, and their need to adapt is critical to
students’ success. School administrators must also support and
train educators with the tools and techniques they are being
given to ensure successful integration in the classroom. teachers with the opportunity to incorporate personalized
learning to students in a way that benefits them. For
example, AI is being used to allow for greater individualized
and differentiated learning to be conducted by teachers.
Applications that provide learning and testing for students can
identify opportunities for them to excel, flag potential gaps in
understanding, and provide feedback on learning progress.
One exciting feature that will dramatically enhance
technology capabilities in the classroom is the integration
of 5G technology. Predicted to be ubiquitous by 2020, 5G
technology allows for data speeds almost 1,000 percent faster
than 4G, empowering educators with the ability to provide
a seamless platform for limitless learning. 5G will allow for
applications to run without fail or interruption, download
speeds to increase dramatically, and a significantly greater
number of devices to be able to connect without delays. Just
another exciting way technology is expected to enhance
learning.

listening to music, playing games, or texting with friends,
technology plays an integral role in their lives. Educators have
taken note and are now reaching teenagers where they are
spending a majority of their time. Digital tools are providing EARLY EDUCATION
The next generation is starting to have children. This
generation grew up in the 1980s and early 1990s, when
televisions were “old news” and computers were just starting to
creep into people’s homes. Gen Yers, as they’ve been named,

they anticipated the number of emails that would rush into
