As a statewide technology trainer, one of the main problems that I see is educators preparing for issues that may happen in the future. In Utah we are lucky to have a team at the Utah State Board of Education who saw the potential for educational technology in the late 00s and early 10s. They enacted a pair of grants that provided funding and resources to help support purchasing and training in individual districts and schools. When the pandemic hit in 2020, many of the schools already had technology and training in place to help teachers transition to virtual learning. Since the pandemic I have had the opportunity to work with national and statewide groups to develop training and goals post-pandemic, but what often lacks is the forward vision of these plans to address eventualities for the future. During the pandemic I was able to see a presentation by Laura McBain from the Stanford d.school and she expressed that although we could not have predicted the pandemic, we could have prepared for an event like it based on history and contemporary information. However, many districts and schools didn't have the time or foresight to discuss such plans. Due to the dynamic nature of the world we live in it is easy to get distracted by the current issues and become blind to the issues that may be coming down the timeline. I wonder how might we provide space, time, and thought partners to look at the future of education? How might we enable decision makers at all levels (classroom, school, district, and national) to think about issues that are in our future and prepare for them? A lot of this work circles around decision making, time, and understanding the larger vision of what education could look like in the future.
