Great tools, not enough of them
Although many schools have taken steps to provide students with access to technology, many schools have not had the resources to make it accessible to all students all of the time. It is imperative to make technology essential to everyday learning, not a scheduled event. -
Times of plenty, times to expand!
Most schools are on the right path. We see the benefits of the technolgy that is available. Smart districts and schools will exploit times of financial well being to strengthen their programs. -
Now we're collaborating.
With access to technology in classrooms and a passion for learning, students will be required to demostrate the acquisition of concepts through collaboration and dynamic projects or presentations. Learning will start taking on some of the characteristis of socializing rather than work. -
Teachers will want to learn and model
As the use of technology becomes less of a question and more of a need, the teaching profession will itself become a world of adult learners. -
More than just computers
Students bring many resources and experiences with them. We will, in the future, make use of what students bring with them by allowing our systems to interact with their systems. No longer will students be stagnated by how quickly schools adopt technology. Students will be allowed to bring technology, programs, and modes of learning with them. This will create a boom in students learning because it will take place in more than just the classroom. Learning will be everywhere, all of the time. -
Teachers will follow suit.
As students demonstrate that they are ready to learn at deeper, more dynamic ways, teachers will create classroom settings and learning experiences that are not confined to the four walls of their classrooms. -
Classrooms and technology are forever married
In the near future, there will come a point where teaching with the technological tools that are available are as common place as chalkboards and chalk were in the classrooms of the 1950s. -
Better and brighter children to come!
The marriage of technology and learning in the classroom, with the further engrainment of the use of technology by children in our society, will result in students who are better able to demonstrate mastery and share their ideas with others. This will present new problems to overcome for schools, but we'll be ready for them too.
