Predict what will have changed about today's schools by the year 2020. This is your opportunity to forecast.
By the year 2020 education will be much different from the current education. The majority of the differences will be caused by the development of computer technology. Computer-based education is growing rapidly and will bring drastic changes. Paperback books were nice, but in 2020 all the reading will be via digital means. Centralized institutions, there will be no need for big buildings. They will get smaller and greener, schedules will change. The amounts of paper utilized in a school will decrease their paper usage by 90%. College admissions will revolve around creating digital portfolios, rather than SAT scores.
I believe us the students will lead the way with technology. The use cell phones for communication. iPhones and Droid phones are commonplace now. Just imagine what apps and devices will be available in a year. 10 years? I can’t even imagine what cars will look like then and what software will be embedded. Access to the internet will be every where with free wifi. Students will be using virtual worlds to share digital content and collaborate. Twitter is today. It can be a little scary, how things will dramatically change. With high hopes, I’m sure it will be for the best!
