Emerging Technologies

Well when I was in middle/high school computers were just coming into the classroom and for me I thought that was great. I had no interactions with a PC until we got one for the house in 97. The PC for me opened up a lot of little things, like typing. The only other piece of equipment we had were the overhead projector and a TV with a VCR player. However with the advancements in technology today the classroom is mind boggling. Current classrooms have video projectors, laptops (for the students), and of course PCs. I believe that with the advancements of technology in the coming years students will be opened up to many more learning styles, allowing teachers to fully maximize their students learing potential. There is really no telling what the classroom will look like in 10 years, but I do know technolgy will play a major role in the learning process and for that I can say I’m excited.
