The future of learning is headed in a great direction. The schooling system was made based on what the country needed back when we were a developing country and that was people for the military and that is why the school system is so uniform. It has not changed a whole lot as far as the system itself. Everybody goes to school in a class of students where they are taught the same things and tested on it to determine what their grade will be. Everybody learns differently and at a different rate, so there needs to be a way so that kids can all have an equal chance in the learning environment. In the video I watched for the Future of learning They are saying that this is the first generation that is not afraid of technology and that will benefit them tremendously. It is like this because since we were children technology was a normal thing and it is what we use to communicate a long with gather and retain information. The video says that the technology they are working on helps children learn at their own rate and in a way that makes sense to them. It is also picking up when they will learn the best, like what time of day and for how long they can study something before their brain just tunes out and they become uninterested and everything they are being taught is basically white noise. As time goes on this system will just get smarter and smarter because it will pick up on the way a certain kid learns and on the things they struggle with and this is beneficial because not only will it pick up on those things, but it will figure out in which manner would be the best in teaching the information and then the system will know how to help the next kid that come along who faces the same or similar struggles. Another thing that is being done is online schooling for college. These college students are getting a great education at a lot cheaper of a cost, They think that it does not necessarily matter how high you scored on your SAT or ACT because that is not the greatest measure of somebody's intelligence, but they do not think that this will become a big thing until they get people talking at a higher level, saying that these big name ivy league schools are not all we make them out to be and they just get people to see what it is that they are trying to do.
Some people might not completely agree with this new learning system. They might say what is the point in even having schools if they are just going to be learning online and the system is going to adjust to the way that they learn? It is going to be taking jobs away from teachers, because if it all online then what is the point in anybody going to school to teach a child? It is basically like a daycare where the children will sit on a computer to learn. And if that is to happen then the student is losing opportunity on social interaction with other children, so how will they learn social skills?
For the online schooling for college students people might not completely agree with it because if you are learning online it makes it easier to cheat and just go Google an answer. Kids in school might not agree with this approach because it takes away from just the environment of college itself and that is part of the reason why they pay to go to school.
I think that the future of learning is looking bright. I think that this system would be great, because i know that personally there were some things that i struggled with as a young kid and back then i did not know how to seek for the help I needed so i just would not do it if I did not know how. I do not think that this system will get rid of schools it will just help children learn the way that is best for them and almost help develop their critical thinking skills better then I was able to at a young age. This system will not take jobs away because as a young kid you will still need help and so this system will just be another tool for teachers everywhere. As far as the system for college students I think it is a great option for some people, but just not for me. To me college is all about the experiences you have because you will learn some great life lessons along the way and it is what will help you grow into the adult you become.
