schools of the future

Schools of the future have been brought into perspective as technology has gotten greater in schools. My vision for schools of the future are that we will have cell phones in class, computers built into desks, and many assignments will be online. Who knows, maybe we won't have to come to school at all. I feel that many people learn in different ways; however, I also feel that we can all adapt to an environment that is more technologically advanced. It may take some getting used to, but schools of the future will be more time efficient. In other words, students will be able to get more done in a smaller amount of time. For example, instead of writing notes, everything will be typed or available online. I feel the value of school will increase and become better for everyone, once they can get used to the new technology. Learning technology is not automatic, so would we lose school time to have to learn how to work the software? Some differing questions come to mind, but technology in school is the way to go. No more keeping up with books, except maybe a manual on how to work your individual computer. Schools would have a lot more technology labs, but classrooms would be smaller and hallways would be wider because there would be no need for lockers and such. Everything you would ever need would be right at your fingertips. Schools would not have to be in session for as long either because school work would get done so much faster. There would be no need to stay at school for 8 hours. We could hold all our classes in one classroom, which would be a huge change for us, since we are used to moving around so much. Schools wouldn’t necessarily be better, they would just be much more efficient and less time consuming. Students would also be able to hold their interest for longer. Schools of the future are coming, are you ready?

I thought the videos were a good look at the future of technology.  Though I have some concerns about how much control the computers will have over the human race, I believe technology has become more efficient and less time consuming.  Some of the facts in the videos were mind blowing and get me thinking about where schools will be in the future.  My man question is, "How will my children be effected in the future school systems?"
