This article describes some of the main technological trends and issues of the European landscape of research and innovation in educational technology. Although several innovative technologies (tools, architectures, platforms, or approaches) emerge, such as intelligent support to personalization, collaboration or adaptation in mobile, game-based, and inquiry learning, other trends show the need for a more balanced and scalable view in which all dimensions are taken into account. The support of the life cycle of technology-enhanced significant educational scenarios puts more emphasis on orchestrating complex educational ecosystems, as well as taking into consideration all stakeholders, especially educational practitioners.
