The
article I read was called, Envisioning
the Future of Education Technology. In this article there were six main
categories about the future of technology in education. The first one was
called digitized classrooms. This would include electronic screens, tablets,
interactive white boards, desk sized screens, knowledge maps and much more. The
second one was called gamification which included student developed apps,
educational programming tools, self-paced learning and a few more. The third
one was opening of information and it had video lessons, online school
communities, digitization of books and flipped classroom. The next one was
called disintermediation, which included mobile learning platforms,
telepresence, allocated lessons and much more. Tangible computing was the fifth
one and it included reactive materials, 3D printers, digitally intermediated
field trips, and reactive furniture. The last one was virtual physical audios
which included eyewear/HUDs, retinal screens, holography, immersive virtual reality
and a few others.
After
reading through these future plans for education and technology, I am a bit in
awe. I cannot imagine having tools like holography or digital books in a
classroom. I am really excited for the future because I know it holds great,
new opportunities for students to learn.
