How will the presidential election results influence education technology in schools?

Now what?

It’s been a week since the United States selected its next leader. The education policy platform of President-elect Donald J. Trump is largely a mystery. He’s mentioned school choice – specifically, giving poor students vouchers to attend any school, whether private, traditional public or charter – and various experts estimate that will cost $20 billion in federal spending and another $110 billion from the states. He’s signaled that he is no fan of the U.S. Department of Education, so it’s not a stretch to say that department might be shuttered. And following that line of thought to its logical conclusion means considering the closure of the Office of Educational Technology as a possibility.

Will schools continue to accelerate the pace of blended learning – which incorporates technology into classes along with in-person instruction? Will states enable schools to pursue personalized learning strategies, which make use of technology to create custom-fit lessons for students?
