30+ COVID-Inspired Predictions About Education One Year from Today

In other instances, I embrace a less careful and even more speculative approach, not out of a claim for some prophetic propensity, but to invite reflection, conversation, and imagination about the future. That is precisely what I’m doing with this article. I welcome comments, challenges, counter-projections, affirmations, questions, and “yes and” generative thinking and responses.
