FUTURE CLASSROOM


3D VIRTUAL LEARNING CONTENTS

Our classroom in the future, this would be an incredible classroom. I can’t imagine how cool it would be in terms of learning and teaching, as it would encourage students to love studying and learn more. Educational Technology is showing that future of education is constantly developing and improving. This is affecting the students’ environment in class and their way of learning, which I think it would help increase the turnout to class and overall help the pursuit of education and learning



Access to Resources

Nowadays, student can assess the course material online, either from the school or university website. For example, I can access any course materials (lectures, notes, assignments … etc.) I need from course link, which is available in the university website. Also, instead of opening an encyclopaedia, in a couple of minutes browsing online with Google or Wikipedia, I can find the question, answer, or information I want. Even better, there is an online encyclopaedia that I can search in with no need to dig in these old huge encyclopaedia books.



Erasing Physical Materials

Because of the improvement in technology, I can download assignments and share notes online, so there is no need to print papers (Save the Environment). Moreover, if I missed any lecture, or I couldn’t attend it, I can listen and watch the recorded lectures posted in the course website. In other case, if I didn’t understand any concept in class, I can find many online tutorials where I can get the concept differently. Also, in almost all of my online courses, Profs usually record the lectures, which students can access it anytime.Now students will not miss classes if the number of students per class is limited. Students could register for online classes, which is exactly the same as in class. Furthermore, I personally never ever depend on textbooks, as my first choice is usually e-book. Usually textbooks are overpriced and huge. By buying e-books, I don’t have to spend a ton of money or carry them around every day.



Change the Communication in Class

Recently, before the classes I will take, profs ask students to answers questions in class using an i>clicker or using cell phones to submit the answers, which in the end of the session shows the answers on his/her lecture screen. In my opinion, this is a good way of getting everybody to participate. Also, Profs would do in class quizzes using these devices, which is really make it easy for us to answer and for them to mark.

Are there any effects of technology on students?!

There is no doubt that technology has affected students, now they have a variety of sources to search and learn faster and more easily. An interesting video I saw in YouTube that shows the “The Effect of Technology on Teen Education”, and I would like to share it here.



APPARENTLY,

Educational Technology is showing that future of education is constantly developing and improving. This is affecting the students’ environment in class and their way of learning, which I think it would help increase the turnout to class and overall help the pursuit of education and learning.
