The face of Education has changed over the past several decades. Thirty years ago, the Internet was introduced to the world. Today, it would be a challenge to find a school in a developed nation without an Internet connection and some level of dependency on connectivity.
Adults adopted the benefits and opportunities afforded by online learning as the Internet started to spread its reach across the US. Over the past several years, virtual knowledge gained a foothold in the K-12 education space. Still, it took a worldwide pandemic to see technology rise as the core of the Education vertical. Education today relies on technology and specialized services to reach students and provide them with the knowledge and experience needed as they step out of the classroom and into our world economy.
