Upon doing research I found lots of great resources,
but these two definitely stuck out to me. They are definitely worth reading:
I think that in the future there will be classrooms, but they will look
very different from our classrooms now. Definitely no desks in rows and teacher
at the front of the room lecturing. Learning will be completely individualized
and mostly self paced. There will be lots of collaboration between students,
both in person and digitally. In person they can meet in the classroom at large
conference like tables or in a comfortable lounge like setting with couches and
chairs. Digitally they will collaborate using programs like Google Apps and
Edmodo. Every student will have a personal device tablet or computer. There
will be a lot of web based learning happening (not app specific.) Devices would
need word processing and Internet capabilities. Teachers will be facilitators
working with students, but never addressing the whole class at once. Some of
the readings I found said teachers will become superfluous. I may be biased
since I am a teacher, but I do not think that teachers will ever go extinct.
There will always need to be that human interaction for kids. They can’t only
be taught by a computer. I will continue to prepare for this future world by
doing everything I can to encourage my students to learn and use technology.
The more they use, the better off our future will be. I anticipate a lot of
pushback from older adults who are not used to all this technology. I will be
as open and communicative as possible to explain what I am doing and why. I
will keep learning and being a life long learner when it comes to technology.
By staying up to date I will be able to lead the teachers at my school into the
future of teaching with technology. I will continue to teach professional
development courses at my school on the latest technology available.
