Xinnian Hao!  Happy New Year.  This is the year of perfect vision, though it does seem strange to say it’s 2020.  It sounds like that should still be in the future. But the FUTURE IS NOW and if you’re wondering what the future will bring, we’ll clarify for you, focusing on the techsperts and what they think the big Ed Tech Trends in 2020 will be.  We might even throw in a few opinions of our own.
