Classroom of the Future

“Today's school students are downloading homework on iTunes,

listening to lessons via podcasts, communicating with other students

all over the world through social networking sites, and even video

conferencing with leaders of business and industry.”

(SMH, 2010)

How do you feel Ipads will change learning experiences?

I hope that they will provide new and exciting learning opportunities rather than being a

distraction.

Where to from here?

“Instead of going to specific classes in person, teachers and students could

communicate at a time they choose by exchanging printed or electronic media

such as emails, message boards or blogs, or through technology that allows them to

communicate in real time such as telephones, web conferencing or video

conferencing.” (SMH, 2010)
