Where do you see technology & education developing next? How do you think the symbiotic relationship

Where do you see technology & education developing next? How do you think the symbiotic relationship between the two will evolve over the next 10 years?


Technology will change education. As far as a 'symbiotic relationship': it just hasn't happened yet. There is a line of demarcation that exists still betwen the two and it wil not be easily overcome. Attitudes both within and outside schools keep it from happening. The relationship is at best, a bad 'tissue graft'.


What will be happening is that over the next ten years the school children now in school will become the decision makers of education, and saddled as they will be with the 'ideals of yesteryear' they will still see much of the technology they were denied access to in school to be a no brainer for inclusion. Additionally the old school administrators wil retire and students who would leave the house in their underwear before leaving without their cell phone will take their places.


The symbios of people and technology and its affect on education will be a result of administration turnover, and the resultant infusion of new genetic material.
