The Future of Technology in Education
I think in the next ten to twenty years technology, especially the Internet and distance learning , will be ingrained into the educational system. The development of hypermedia will allow students access to stimulating, motivating, and engaging lessons. I also think this new system will require a different generation of eduacators. Educators that have the necessary skills to teaching and keep pace with technology. Lastly, I believe the future is bright and students will be afforded more oppurtunity than ever.

Hello Capt. Morgan Golfer! I agree that there is no escaping the use of technology in the classroom. In order for the technology to be effective, educators must be provided with training and technical support.

Jon,
You mentioned the requirement for a different generation of educators. This is a very good point. Although it will be necessary for existing older educators to make this transition to keep up with the technology changes, many are resistant and will delay the process. I agree with you that it will take a new generation.
This new generation will have used the technology in the process of their own education and will be the catalysts and driving forces to get the ball rolling in their respective schools.

Jon,
Nice blog page! You appear to have done this before?! Education will be taking us up new avenues in years to come. I agree with you, that the skills and strategies that teachers will need are changing with the development of technology. I'm afraid that some teachers aren't making an effort to keep up now, they will be really far behind 10 years from now.

Jonathan,
I agree, teacher are definately going to have to keep up with technology. I think teachers need to be adequately trained and encouraged to keep up with technology and all of the changes.
I enjoyed your blog, have a safe 4th!
