      I feel like this will likely be the case in the future.  With technology growing so fast and all, I feel that online learning will grow more and technology based in the classroom will grow more as well.
  • Will the developing world catch up with the developed world? Will residential colleges be as popular as they are today? And what about degrees…will they still mean something to employers?

  • This visualization attempts to organize a series of emerging technologies that are likely to influence education in the upcoming decades. Despite its inherently speculative nature, the driving trends behind the technologies can already be observed, meaning it's a matter of time before these scenarios start panning out in learning environments around the world.

  • The future is about access, anywhere learning and collaboration, both locally and globally. Teaching and learning is going to be social. Schools of the future could have a traditional cohort of students, as well as online only students who live across the country or even the world. Things are already starting to move this way with the emergence of massive open online courses (MOOCs). For me, the future of technology in education is the cloud. Technology can often be a barrier to teaching and learning. I think the cloud will go a long way to removing this barrier. Why? By removing the number of things that can go wrong.

      I know so many teachers and even professors at the university that have very little experience or understanding of technology. It is frustrating that technology is available and very helpful but still some educators have no idea how to utilize it and therefore the students do not benefit from the positive learning they could be experiencing.

  •  
    I agree with Cody. Why is it that schools are lacking in the technology department when it effects our lives so much?
