It’s said that necessity is the mother of all inventions. However, that quote does not always hold true. Though student centricity and technology integration has long been a crucial necessity in education, they’re only catching up. But one thing for sure is that they are here.

Preparing for the unexpected is easier said than done – especially when it comes to education.
