So, what might happen? First
of all have a look at what is going on in Islay High School in Scotland. They
are not just modernising ICT, they are modernising schooling.
Technology will play a big
part in future schools. What role do you think Microsoft Surface will play?
Here’s an example of what it
might do in Geography…
And what if then you can
create this on something as thin as a bit of paper?
I guess what I am saying is
that all this technology exists? Now it is just a question of when will it come
down in price (think about DVD players here) and when we will start to use it
in education?
Without a doubt virtual
worlds will start to play a more significant role in education. Many
universities are already offering virtual courses (see below) and schools are
also starting to get involved.
