Classroom of the Future

I have been an adjunct online instructor with the North Carolina Virtual Public Schools since 2008 and have developed and taught an online course through my school, Forsyth Country Day School in Lewsville, NC.  This year, for the first time, I used the online platform to teach through “blended learning.”  Students had the virtual, online course throughout at their fingertips, while also being taught face-to-face each day

Students had the virtual, online course throughout at their fingertips, while also being taught face-to-face each day.  I found that the online platform was great for allowing students to get caught up if they fell behind and also allowed students to work ahead if they knew they would be traveling or would miss school because of an athletic event, etc. 

The long-term future will not be like it is today. Education will continue to evolve and may make facilities as we know them obsolete. Schools will continue to be under-resourced.
