Today’s educators are preparing students for jobs of the future–jobs that don’t necessarily exist today–and a Google Education report takes a look at the K-12 classroom trends driving learning. Even though students across the globe are learning at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, these trends translate to virtual classroom trends as students direct their own learning and collaborate in new ways.
