The Future for High School Students

In David Warlick's conference, we discussed what the future would be like for students in high school today. Here are some of my predictions:
1. Students will make significant career changes, at least 4-5 times in a lifetime (true today)
2. Technology will become the divide between the "Haves" and the "Have Nots."
3. Districts or public entities will provide wireless access for their constituents as they discover the huge effect that it has on student achievement.
4. We are progressing toward lighter-weight technology applications and wider social networking. So, I predict that we'll have tools at our fingertips--and social webs of access connecting our tools together.
