EFT - Technology of the Future Lesson
Technology of the Future
The 1990's marked the start of the 5th generation of computers. Computers of this generation are based on artificial intelligence, gesture technology, and natural language. As we progress into the future, we will see an increased use of parallel computing. This process occurs when multiple computers or central processing units are used to process a single task simultaneously. Quantum computation will utilize the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing tasks. As a result, quantum computers will more than likely be able to perform certain calculations faster than a silicon-based computer. Molecular and nanotechnology will change the make-up of computers in years to come.
Future technology will impact the way students receive instruction and complete assignments. The learning environment will be flipped. It is predicted that classrooms will become digitized which will allow students to collaborate more frequently with their peers. Desk-sized screens and wall-sized screens will play a major role in how students communicate and share information. Educational games will be used to instruct students and afford students with the opportunity for self-paced learning and instant feedback. The digitization of books will increase and students will be able to download educational apps and access video lessons to discover information about a topic. Instruction will also become more project performance and more portfolio-based instead of offering students traditional assignments and assessments.
- Flipped - A classroom where direct instruction is moved from the group teaching space to the individual learning environment. This method of learning is also referred to as blended learning.
