With rapidly changing technology and ease of access, how will the future of classrooms look like ?

Imagine a classroom where the entire history class puts on headsets and experiences ancient Greece. With digital technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), this is not just for schools of the future — it is closer to reality than you think. As new technologies are integrated into education, they may be positively shaping the schools and classrooms of the future.

Schools of the future will likely rapidly integrate emerging technology trends of today, such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, augmented reality, and virtual reality. The objective is to fundamentally improve the educational experience for students, teachers, and administrators alike. As these trends impact educational capabilities, teachers must stay on the cutting edge of new developments, ideas, and concepts that are driving the march of technology.

The trick to reshaping school education lies in providing teachers with the knowledge needed to connect this new technology with students. Educators need to gain the skills necessary to succeed in classrooms of the future and best connect new tech to students.

Digital Technology Trends

As technology progresses, it is crucial that educators stay up to date on potential trends that can be integrated into the classroom and educational systems. As technology applications are tried and tested, some may yield new ways to connect with students, improve teaching and learning efficiency, and even lessen teachers’ workloads so they can dedicate more of their time to their lessons and engaging students one on one.

We will look at some of the new technologies that are shaping the classroom of the future in the next parts.
