Tackling Attendance Challenges: School- and Classroom-Based Approaches

The past 18 months have forced educators to navigate the tug-of-war between digital and physical learning solutions in the technological blink of an eye. Schools have since accelerated the adoption of cloud computing to deploy online learning tools affordably and sustainably, moving away from legacy and locally-hosted systems and services. Ambitions for ‘cloud eventually’ evolved almost overnight to ‘cloud now’. And just as the cloud empowers schools to expand beyond the classroom, the metaverse has emerged as a potential new space for making teaching and learning more engaging. So, does this herald the arrival of the ‘eduverse’? This panel of education thought leaders explores how education providers can leverage cloud-enabled solutions now and tomorrow, and what the growth of the metaverse might mean for the future of education.

How can we set up our students for success in the upper-elementary grades? To thrive amid the increased academic and assessment-related demands in grades 3–6, students must develop as cognitively independent learners.
