Education is changing at high speed, some personal observations

At the level of my own family i was this month confronted with the fact that my oldest daughter (8) is now using a tablet at her school for part of her work ( with tablets/apps from a dutch start-up: http://snappet.org/ )
Many parents around me are not fully aware of the changes that lie ahead, with full digitisation and personalisation of content in education. Many politicians, at least in the Netherlands, also do not show they are fully aware what's going on. A lot of work lies ahead. Maybe i should make a careerchange.
If you want a broader explanation about how public education is changing, i can really recommend this famous RSA-animate by Ken Robinson, http://goo.gl/kcq8Si
