While I certainly agree that technology and increasingly rapid communication has changed the education system, as well as many other areas of daily life, I doubt that it will ever have such a steep impact on educators. While students do bring an expansive range of experiences, opinions, and knowledge, I can almost guarantee that no student in my JOURN 312 class knows anything about the subject. Students depend on profs. w/ experience to guide them to success and nurture their learning.
very interesting video...it was pretty smoothly made and brought up some interesting points. It's funny that one of study packs are mentioned, as one of my teachers actually uses them
I look forward to the day when ridiculously overpriced textbooks dissappear, although ricidulously overpriced school-issued laptops will probably take their place. Also, traditional libraries will eventually vanish, and we can welcome multiple-story computer labs. Finally, I think an instructor is neccessary in the classroom. Collaboration is not a bad idea, but senority leadership is key.
I think it's apparent that print will soon be a thing of the past, especially where education is concerned. It's far more economical in many ways to use the internet and digital files to convey to students what textbooks do now. I also think there is a place for self-evaluation and collaboration, and learning by rote nowadays is more pointless than ever. However, I don't think the job of a teacher can be replaced, but rather (hopefully) expanded to a wider audience!
I agree that the continuing advancement of technology will change the education system and allow for more collaboration, but I also think teachers play a vital role in student learning. Although nowadays we can virtually find everything online, teachers come with a much greater level of credibility and enhance the quality of the education system. It is important to note, however, that the growth of digital textbooks will benefit not only the environment, but students, as well.
I don't think students are quite motivated to learn everything they can without an actual instructor, but I think the idea of collaborating as a group is good. The idea of making everything electronic would be great for the environment. Printing handouts and textbooks wastes so much paper, and they're expensive. It's interesting to think about how colleges will change in the next decade or two.
Collaboration is key. It really is so helpful to not only hear where other students are at with the material, but to be able to get information more ingrained in our heads for long term. I love the idea of no hard copies of textbooks. Less trees dying, lighter backpacks, and I would hope -- much less money. College needs to get back to being a place of learning instead of robbing students of money and pushing them through the system.
If teachers were on the big screen we could broadcast them to as many students as possible. Then we could finally all get the classes we need! I definitely think that some type of instructor is needed. I don't think students can all just come to class to teach each other different things. There has to be structure. I believe hard copy books will vanish, probably not entirely by the year 2025 however. Why are the book shelves empty? Computers should be on those shelves!
Will their be Libraries? No, cuz they just invented something where you can view a book
