Technology is one of the main constituents for shaping the educational ecosystem today. With the advent of Web 3.0, Neuroweb, Lucid learning, interoperability in education and new-age assessments &  instructional systems, the future of education is going to be dynamic and bold. However, we cannot discern how well we will thrive in it as our skills are getting outdated with the rapid pace at which the technology is advancing. Keeping oneself updated and developing new competencies on an ongoing basis is the need of the hour. Staying up to date with the changing trends in emerging technology is exacting and incorporating it into our present teaching and learning mode is challenging and demanding too.

One good way to keep abreast of the latest development in the education sector is to forge a cohort of future-ready educators that should aim at equipping all concerned with new-age competencies. This cohesive group will empower educators with professional knowledge, attitude and skills for making them “Future ready”.
