Digital Smarts - Parents Support Personalized Learning

Of K-12 parents surveyed in the summer of 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education, 91% said they support personalized, digital learning as an alternative to traditional textbooks. The survey also found that 73% of K-12 parents favor adaptive digital learning, where classroom lessons are personalized to meet students’ needs. 88 % of both college and K-12 parents also felt that all K-12 classrooms would be “plugged in” by 2025. Of course, McGraw is in the business of producing these kinds of materials, but it is interesting to have this barometer of parental expectations.
