Classroom Of The Future HD: What's New in Educational Tech

[Vastvisionist]

What tests have been done on the effects of a student's brain while using a computer for a lengthy period of time? What about invisible toxins from wireless devices? Where is the wireless free zone (similar to a smoke free zone)? "Central monitoring control?" Recording activities of ones every move! Who collects and profits from all the data mined out of the students? Who will eventually control all the students? Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook? Parents protect your children!

[orlandocoronel]

You are right! The economic factor is a major problem.

Smart Classrooms are technology enhanced classrooms that foster opportunities for teaching and learning by integrating technology, such as computers, specialized software, audience response technology, networking, voice recognition, audio/visual capabilities, and other technologies

Leaders in education will have to ponder if smart quality education deserves a chance

The bottom line is: If education is expensive. Try ignorance.

[MrMerlinss]

Best technology in educational world

[Bad6rush]

I've designed a few classrooms of the future and sticking masses of technology in isn't the answer, you make the spaces adaptable to allow for multiple activities to take place within one room, this is just an I.C.T room. Views out of windows that break out into outdoor spaces that can be used is a good start to keep students engaged..You want to keep the students actively learning not drooling over a screen.

[TheZteach]

Not a bad idea.



[sjctrainers]

Not really a classroom of the future, as all the tech is available now. Understanding the video is from 2007 does not change that. It was all available then as well. The room of the "future" will not look like the rooms of 2007-2010... I would think. Need more student driven tech tools in there.

[fmplautus]

There are no windows! It's like a multi media tomb.

[ryanmcapple]

My school is basically like that aside form every student using rolling chairs. We still use desks, but we all have laptops. Every classroom has a virtual write board and tons of plug ins for Ethernet and electricity as well as phone. The whole school is wireless as well. Many lights are also motion activated throughout the entire building to save electricity of no one is there. Also, the doors unlock by reading cards and typing codes from the outside.

So like the private school of today ?

[Depotmaster]

Nice equipement, good for private schools, but the success of course still depends on the quality of the teacher.

The real question is, how to make classrooms of this kind available to schools in every country? There are still huge wealth disparities which disrupt progress of this kind.

[soylentgreenistasty1]

i don't know how helpful this would be. to me it just seems it would make the students more reliant on technology to complete work. IMO more effort should be put into creating better teachers.. students do not look back at school years and remember all the great technology they had that helped them learn.. they remember the great teachers they had

[ranadiktus09]

mga walang kwenta sagot nyu.!

[wessamw]

Very good

[blackknight509]

Too bad only the wealthy school districts will utilize such tech. all of the lower class high schools and such will not until a few years after.

[cinder544]

but...but...do you have anything to teach? Look at the results: 1. More and more people die in hospitals. 2. The experts do not agree if the world is getting warmer, or cooler. 3. Food is very bad. 4. Wather is bad. 5. People are fat. 6. Cars are dangerous. 7. Jails are full. 8. Many individuals have no jobs. 9. Many individuals have to work 2 jobs. 10. E-mails are too much.

[knight24474]

Galileo, Isaac Newton and albert Einstein only need books, arent they?

[oninz100]

hey wavey61, it's the face of the future classroom because it's not yet applied..

bogog mommy~~

[wavey61]

This is lame... My multimedia room looks almost like that lol... actually back in middle school we had projectors, laptops, smartboards, TVs, and i'm not sure if there was Wifi. But this isnt "future" it's already here, we just need to implement it to EVERY single classroom

[NinjaCyborgJesus]

See, if you had anything that resembles a brain you would see that this in 2007, seeing that it IS the future this guy was right..... you pretty muched proved him right

[kiwiboz]

Our new schools in NZ have already moved beyond this!

[mikeys4u]

This is laughable....this is what we have now to a point, just more projectors....no holographic displays...wow a tv and a projector and some laptops.....

[alaab925]

a few decades ago people thought we would have flying cars. If you really expect holograms and such, you're living in a dream world. Especially in a school! Schools right now can barely afford to keep teachers!

[fumala420]

Haha,

certainly never in MY high school

[bindug99]

The schools are still not awkening to the need of students . Most stick to the old methods and have a mindblock to teaching with technology. the classrooms as such would really engage the students and allow better retention of knowledge . Education has added dimension and gone online. Its time educators at school realized so

[vistarox]

You are 100% Correct. Now of days students are using all sorts of tech for school and the school's still use textbooks which slows down everything and waists trees.

[Xpected2]

I would love to teach in one of those rooms. While I believe that rooms like that would be amazing to work in, I still believe that they would be useless without the right teachers. I know that at least 70% of my highschool teachers don't even deserve their jobs, much less a room like that.

[mleiboff]

It is very true, that good training is required, and motivation to go above and beyond the "normal" teaching mode is required for this kind of facility to be successful.

[wonwithu]

Sterile. That's all that comes to mind. Aseptic. If humans lose warm & fuzzy..big oops, big bad on us.

[mediaineducation]

I think the fact that there are no people in the room makes it look more sterile than it would be if it was full of people working in groups, with materials all spread out around the tables.

Thanks for your comment.

[cherkaslord]

Try the activote from promethean. It is designed for childern, those things are child proof. We even threw them straight at the board and dropped them a hundred times. Still works!

[dannysteacher]

Most interesting. I so wish. I work in the UK in a school building which was built around 1900 and all classrooms have intereactive whiteboards and 2 carts. Having been ICT coordinator for the school, I can tell you life is not simple. Technology is not designed for children and their lack of care for it! It breaks down frequently and causes frustration amongst staff!

[harrisca6]

I actually have a classroom that looks just like that... its almost eerie. The lighting fixtures are even the same!

[coachpern]

Just straight talk about future classroom.
