How do you think computers will be used in school in the future?

Answer 1

Educational software will continue to improve to the point where artificial personalities deliver lectures and instruction tailored to each student's personal needs. The computers themselves will be flexible touch screens one can roll up and store in a pocket, and clean by rinsing with warm water. They will come with cameras equipped with magnifying lenses for identifying objects and minerals, and giving students close up views. They will also be able to patch in to orbiting telescopes to provide real time views of the planetary surface for maps, as well as celestial objects.

Imagine classrooms without walls. School will occur on the subway, park benches, lawns, up in a tree, while mountain climbing, or anywhere the student happens to be and can spend time interacting with the "magic scroll." Tests and coursework will be designed to incorporate the student's immediate environment. Virtually anything and everything can be used to create an educational atmosphere. The beauty of computers is that they never get bored, and can conduct math drills until they detect signs of weariness in the pupil.

Imagine each student progressing at his or her own pace, unencumbered by the knowledge limits of the professor or needs of other students. You want to learn about Galois Groups--the information is readily available, and presented at a level suitable for the individual student at that time. Real world examples will be presented, and the software can design suitable test questions on the fly.

Currently the man/machine interface consists of awkward input devices like keyboards, mice, touch screens and microphones for voice recognition. Further into the future computers will be implanted and accessible by thought. The human/computer interface may involve artificial symbiotes--organisms designed to assist the human/machine connection. Education by then will not consist of rote memorization of information, but methods for compiling, accessing and using databases. Imagine a world where you can communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time--and not only that but view the world through their eyes, hear what they hear, smell, feel and experience the world just as they do. All experiences can be readily shared. Problems will be solved by crowd sourcing. Instead of just one or two collaborators endeavoring to solve some particular problem in physics, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people may weigh in, each offering their own unique ideas and suggestions. We expect the rate of technological progress to increase significantly under these circumstances.

Answer 2

I think computer will be used in 2 years is that they will have more buttons on the keyboard and have Lot more complicated things and that it will have more stuff and things. maybe it will be how it looks like in the old days.
