After watching 3 very funny '80's(assuming) movies on the classroom of the future, it made one think of not only were they not far off, but of what my classroom of the future would look like. First off, in todays classrooms across the nation, teachers and students alike can interact via webcam or any number of devices. This allows a teacher to teach class to a roomful of students in another town, or hundreds of miles away! similiar to the teacher in the movie interacting with the student sick at home.
Second, we see in public schools and other enviorments, the use of voice recongition and sythesis programs. These tools espescially hope those with physical disibilities that dont have the ability to manually type or function a computer. Similiar how the sick boy simply gave his computer commands to help him find his history topic.
Last, the use of databases, videos, and network sharing, all are at our fingertips today. The pair of students shared information back and forth simply with the push of a button. Along with advanced databases to search topics and videos in helping them with their homework.
The classroom of my future will only get bigger as students become more and mroe tech savvy entering their public education. Not only will technology become smaller and more accesible, but faster and smarter as well. The ability to expand ones knowledge without ever stepping foot into a physical classroom or shake a real teachers hand will become the norm. Students will interact more and more through the Internet and networking, then in real life. Technology will allow better ways to learn for student in rural areas to develope skill sets they wouldnt of had had access to previously. Technology will only advance and better eduaction as it grows bigger and better in the future.
