It's hard to think what the future will be. Or for that matter the classroom. I believe that there will be a change but not a dramatic change. Technology will dominate around the classroom, that's for sure. Schools can hopefully insure that every student has a laptop, and well educated on technology and how it benefits them in the real world. Student will love using the technology, and so will teachers, but it's the level of technology for them to understand. For students it will be easier to adapt to newer technology then teachers. For example older teachers do not like to use technology and use old school methods. Other teachers like using newer tools such as technology, but in the future maybe these teachers would rather sick to the older tools of technology then the newer ones of the future. Technology to some people gets easier and sometimes becomes difficult to use or understand. I could be wrong. Technology could be 10 times easier than what it is today. I hope that in the future technology is dominate and simple to make my life and my students life easier, because to me that's what technology is all about.

Nikki, I love the picture you found for your post! I agree with you that the future classroom will show a change but not a dramatic change. I think that technology will have the most impact on the classroom. I hope that the schools will have the funding to provide students and teachers will all the tools they need in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki! You make really good points. Technology is definitely going to be the biggest factor for the future of our classrooms. Older teachers need to get up to date on such new trends. But I like what you said, that technology can be difficult to a certain extent. I really do think that with time it will get much easier for everyone. Love the pic!
