Future of Education and Technology

One paper I read written by Patricia L. Hutinger entitled Technology and Education: What Will the Future Bring? addressed many of the issues that I found in a lot of places. Hutinger said that the future is of course unknown, and we really have no idea where technology is going to take the education world. However, if education is going to continue to be affective and relevant teachers need to be flexible and continually be ready and willing to adapt content and teaching styles. Hutinger said that technology should not merely be used as a tool in the classroom but that one day it will completely change the way school is done. She thinks that only do schools need to be teaching technology but they need to be using technology all the time with everything and beginning at an early age with children. Technology will soon not be a subject studied in school but will be used to learn all other subjects on every level. Some other articles suggested that some day the school building could become obsolete as school and classes could be completely attended on line.
