The Future of Classroom Education



I loved this video because it was created by high school students showing us what the future classroom in education was and is to be like from their perspective.  Like I said, I loved seeing it from their perspective and the way they chose to share the information with us.

It was very enlightening when they showed us how hard it was to find the information in books for "When did the Battle of Gettysburg take place?"  To think, when I was going through school this was the only way that I was able to find the information that I needed. I had to look in the card catalog, encyclopedias, and other resources.

The internet has really made researching for information SO MUCH easier.  I wish when I was going through college the first time that there was as much information on the Internet as there is now.  I know that I am a Generation X child but I love technology.  I love getting my hands on it.

I can tell that I grew up in a home that had lots of technology in.  I am a parent that does not mind my children having the latest greatest technology in my home but my husband is the totally opposite.  He would rather have as little technology as possible when it comes to toys and video games.  I can see his point of view.  Children today do spend a lot of time using technology devices but the future is technology based and only becoming so more and more everyday.  I can not imagine what the world is going to be like in another 10-15 years.  If we keep advancing like we have technology wise the possibilities are limitless.
