**Session Description**
//The lines of distinction between online, mobile, blended & computer-based learning are fading. What does this mean for education? What will school look like when students can literally carry their learning with them on a cell phone? Polices around competency-based learning are also on the rise. Learning is becoming less linear, more discovery & interest-based & more student-initiated. Join Julie Young, President & CEO of Florida Virtual School, for a first-hand look into future learning trends.//
