By The Year of 2046

    After I watched these two videos named "Classroom of Tomorrow" and "The Future Starts Now", I get a better understanding of the importance of utilizing advanced technology in education.Future education will embrace its revolution caused by technology.

    As technology improving, we now have tons of gadgets, such as iPad, laptop, smart mobile phone etc.,all of which can help us get access to all kinds of books and information in the world.When I was watching the video "Classroom of Tomorrow", I was so excited to see what the classroom looks like in the future.No blackboard, no chalks,and a teacher can put pictures onto the screen from his phone by simply waving his right hand!It was like watching a scientific movie.Students can even communicate with Siri in their iPhones and ask "him" whatever questions they have.Moreover,I was astonished when a boy change a window into a big screen of his phone,and manipulate apps on the window!

    Advanced technology just make education much easier in the future.All teaching processes and activities can be done under technology.Most importantly,students are interested in learning with the help of ICT,which is short for "Information and Communication Technology".Students will definitely learn better by using ICT.ICT makes school more relevant and motivating for students, and if more students learn better, more will be motivated and fewer will drop off the university.Thus,utilizing ICT in school as well as in education can also help build a knowledge-based society. Advanced technology just make learning and teaching much more easier in the future,for all the information in the world is just at our fingertips,a few mouse clicks away.

    However,problem is how to utilize ICT smartly to improve learning.A good start is to make ICT as the fifth basic skill in the curriculum apart from reading,writing,speaking and maths.

    Schools had better take students' interests in ICT, and use ICT in teacher training process, which may encourage teachers to use ICT in their future classes.

    I am excited and encouraged by these videos.I can hardly imagine what the world will be like in the near future. But whatever it turns into, I believe it must be a better and brighter world embraced by advanced technology.
