The Future (TT #12)

I am excited about the future of our education system and the integration of technology in the classroom. Like the Horizon reported noted, the role of the teacher will shift, and I believe the use and availability of technology will allow teachers to adopt an inquiry teaching approach.

What is most exciting about the future of technology in the classroom is the emerging trend of 1:1 ratios between technology and students. I enjoy the concept of 1:1 because it means a student has limitless resources at their fingertips.

What is best about the integration of technology into the classroom, and as it continues to grow in the future is the change it can bring in instruction and assessment. We have talked about the shift from students being consumers to creators and proper integration of technology allows that. I'm hoping more teachers shift to the model Bryce Ridgen has created in his classroom, that is what I view as proper integration of technology!
