The modern student is in a difficult situation.

Not only have the scenarios in which they learn changed tremendously, but so have the skills required to succeed outside the walls of educational institutions.

Today’s world asks more of kids entering the workforce and “real” life than ever before, and they need 21st-century literacy, learning and life skills to match.

That’s where Encantos enters the fray.

Encantos is the self-described leader in “storyteaching,” in which the organization works with “authentic storytellers to tell authentic stories from diverse perspectives, [with] each one is matched with the 21st century literacy, learning and life skills they best model.”

To learn more, Age of Digital Learning host Kevin Hogan sat down with Encantos CEO and Co-founder Steven Wolfe Pereira live from the show floor of this year’s ASU+GSV Summit, widely recognized as the premier industry event for educational and edtech leaders looking to have an impact on the future of education.

Back-to-school IT teams are buying EdTech in a market where half the funding sits with 10 firms

Back-to-school IT teams are buying EdTech in a market where half the funding sits with 10 firms

New Market Pitch’s July 13, 2026 ranking says the top 10 EdTech startups hold about 50.2% of total funding in its filtered ranking; BYJU’S accounts for about 15.1% and is listed at about $6.0B raised. EdTech Digest’s profile of nonprofit Wishbone describes a model that connects at-risk high school students to donors online to fund afterschool and summer programs.

  • 01Funding tables can hide procurement risk: New Market Pitch lists some entries with “partial” confidence and flags “acquired” statuses without naming acquirers, so buyers should treat capital rankings as a starting point, not due diligence.
  • 02Some education initiatives behave like supply chains, not software: EdTech Digest’s description of Wishbone’s model highlights the operational work in vetting, publishing, funding, and progress updates, workflows that live outside the LMS.

AI Readiness in Education

AI Readiness in Education

AI adoption in education requires students to develop practical problem-solving skills and readiness to use AI effectively in their careers. Dr. Ngoc Cindy Pham at CUNY Brooklyn College redesigns curricula to emphasize AI literacy through experiential learning and industry partnerships that align academic training with real-world employer needs.

  • 01Students must defend their AI-assisted decisions through reasoning, not just rely on AI outputs, to ensure understanding of marketing concepts in practice.
  • 02Educational institutions should partner with employers as co-creators of curriculum rather than designing courses on theory alone, ensuring skills meet actual workplace demands.
  • 03AI literacy and readiness are becoming central to higher education frameworks, requiring continuous collaboration between educators and industry to adapt to evolving technologies.
