In this scenario set we explore the future of tablet technology in education.  Neither the desktop PC/laptop, nor the internet have thus far managed to revolutionize the education system, in spite of the enormous potential these technologies hold for education.  The excitement around tablet computers appears to be different though.  We explore whether the penetration of tablets in the educational system will differ from that achieved by previous computing technologies.  We also explore what form or manner this could possibly hold. In addition we broadened our research to explore whether technology, in general, will revolutionize the whole learning process. Our research focuses mainly on the EU region and refers both to primary and secondary education.

What will be the future of tablets/technology in the classroom of 2025? Will tablets' penetration differ from internet's as far as the educational system is concerned? Will technology, in general, revolutionize the learning process? Our research focuses mainly on the EU region and refers both to primary and secondary education.
What is the future of tablet technology in education in 2025?

==Short Scenario Description==
'''School as Usual''' <br>
In the School as Usual scenario we find that technology has yet again failed to enter the school system. Teachers resist to fully integrate tablets in the classroom while childrens extracurricular activates only involve technological gadgets and virtual worlds. This technological gap makes kids disengaged and distracted in school.
'''Another brick in the wall''' <br>
In this scenario,technology has fundamentally changed the way children learn. Moreover, the educational system is highly regulated and monitored by the EU governments. All EU countries have to abide to the uniform standards and rigorous testing imposed by the governments. Students are competing against each other in terms of performance as "student rankings" are published even at a daily basis. Students become highly competitive and aggressive due to the pressure to perform substantially better than their peers. <br>
'''Tailored Learning, Tailored Life''' <br>
In the Tailored Learning, Tailored Life scenario we find that technology has changed significantly the way education is delivered and the way that children learn.  Governments no longer control the schooling or education system, but children do not lead the learning process themselves.  Their learning is highly individualised and tailored to their specific talents, circumstances and interests. <br>
'''Teacher, leave them kids alone''' <br>
In this world, technology has significantly changed the way that children learn. Governments are no longer the primary drivers of the education system, and students themselves lead the learning process. Learning content and curricula is driven largely by the student, with input and guidance from mentors and other facilitators. Kids main source of learning not only WHAT they learn but HOW they learn it shifts to themselves.

==Key Group Learnings==
* Group learning happens through language creation: By discussing and analysing the problem we created a terminology with a common understanding which allowed us create more surprising, plausible, deep and quality scenarios <br>
* To build a good scenarios we dug deep below the surface by interviewing/watching people who had something interesting to say and challenge our way of thinking. In addition within the team we had diverse ways of thinking which helped for high quality scenario creation  <br>
* Scenario thinking is offering a new way of thinking. In our group that was mainly facilitated through challenging each others' ideas and defying assumptions that we were not even aware of <br>
