There are still many months before I start my annual round-up of ed-tech trends, but I think about the project year round. Here are the things I'm tracking on -- clearly I've got to narrow this down by December:

1. The Business of Ed-Tech
2. The Politics of Ed-Tech
3. Privacy
4. Data and Algorithms
5. Outsourcing and Privatization
6. Free College?
7. The Collapse of For-Profit Higher Ed (Or Not)
8. Online Education (the Hype formerly Known as “MOOC”)
9. The Common Core State Standards
10. Opt-Out and Testing
11. School as Skills Training - "The Employability Narrative"
12. Annotation (and the Indie Web)
