The above video is a great video for educators. Educators tend not to utilize technology in the classroom as much as we probably should. Technology is usually use by teachers to take attendance or compute grades. We are living in a more technical and global society. Educators could create classroom websites free from sites such as http://www.edmondo.com/ to communicate not only with students but parents about what is going on in the classroom. Teachers would be able to post lessons and assignment. Teachers could also post lectures or work samples for students. We must take advantage of technology to engage our student to become more prepared for the future that awaits them. We must use various tools of learning to assist them in working collaboratively with others to create products that demonstrate their learning. Students should not be seating in a sit the majority of time just memorizing basic facts but they should be actively engage in creating learning that they will retain long term. I see K12 learning becoming more interactive and collaborative. I see more high school courses offered online. There are currently online learning institution for younger grade but I do not see them becoming wide spread except in the home school communities. I know that Texas has an online charter school for students grades 3 through high school.
I do believe that in the future we will see more and more colleges offering courses online. This will allow students to collaborate with others from all over the world. It will make it more convenient for many older adults to go back to school and work full time.
