Technology has already changed education today, and I believe it will continue to do so rapidly. I believe that we be incorporating more and more technology tools into the classroom for students to use. It will be less and less teacher-driven and more and more student-centered.

Bloom’s taxonomy changes with the use of technology, which changes the skills we will teach. I already see a greater emphasis on analytical thinking at a younger age. Students need to be to compare and contrast, as well as manage and synthesize information. Furthermore, students need to be flexible thinkers because information changes rapidly.
I think students will create, share and self-assess more and more. Current examples of this are Digital History Textbook and Student Made Math Movies. and MathTrain.TV. The ability to bring real world situations into the classroom will increase as well with global collaboration on projects across schools.
