Computers in Schools
The Changing School
Schools will go through many of the
same changes as homes. Computers will allow teachers to do so much more
for their classes. Instead of simply lecturing on a topic, a teacher
can download material off of the internet, and then show that to students.
Students will then be able to ask questions to renowned scholars and persons
through online communication programs. Teachers will have access
to incredible amounts of information to provide to their students.
Teachers will begin to fill different roles as technology entires the classroom.
Teachers' Changing Roles in Schools
Teachers will begin to fulfill different
roles in the classroom. They will need to coordinate information
and opportunities for their students. The focus will not be on teachers
as much, but will be on the information they can compile from the internet.
The internet will provide videos, articles and even chats that will allow
students opportunities that we could never have today.
New Technology in Schools
The blackboard of today will be replaced
with a giant computer screen in the future. This screen will be used
to display videos and websites, and will double as a writing board.
Each student will have a computer that will allow interaction in class,
but will also allow students to take exams and complete exercises - receiving
their grades instantly.
In many ways however, schools will remain the same. Elementary
will still have recess, and gym class will still be a mandatory part of
high school in America. Students will still yearn for school to be
over, but in truth be unable to imagine life without it. Technology
will bring great changes, but all the basic qualities of education will
remain the very same.
