We discovered during our last lecture a webpage called wikispace. We as groups went on to this site and began to use it, understanding how everything is set out and done. After watching a video demonstrating how to use wikispace, we could see that any information you put on the site can either be changed or more information can be added to it by another member of the group. We were given the task to find out what education may be like in the future as of technology being involved and it gave us the chance to do our own research and place it onto the website, where we could see what others have found out and change it if necessary. After placing all our information together as a group we discussed what we found out. I added to the group that I think the technology that will be produced in the future should not be used as an easy way out for teachers but used in educational context to help with teaching children appropriately to develop all their skills.
Here are some of the examples of where technology is seen to be heading in the future.

Ted talks
From looking through the various videos on Ted Talks I chose to watch a video on a young boy called Mario who had an illness that caused him to lose the ability to move the left side of his body. I decided to look this video because my main focus in life is to become more involved with children with additional needs in the future.
This video looks at a couple who believed that their son was a healthy young boy when he was born. Within days of his birth the young boy has a stroke that leaves the right side of his brain damaged, enabling him from using the left side of his body. The moral of the clip explains that basically this couples lives had to change for their son, so that Mario can get the best support around him.
I can relate to this video clip as of circumstances in my family. Because in the future I wish to become a Special educational needs co-ordinator, this video makes it clear that for every individual to achieve to the best of their ability, then life needs to be altered in order for them to be able to carry out their daily routines, activities and to enjoy life just like the rest of us.
I found that this video is very inspirational and shows that miracles can happen. It shows that Everyone's must be valued and respected for their individuality and for them not be looked at as incapable, as there are strengths and weaknesses in all of us, not just people with additional needs. If people are supported with their additional need then there is always a chance they can achieve the best of their ability. As seen in this clip Mario's parents were told that he would not be able to move the left side of his body and now he is able to keep balance and is walking. This is what makes the clip much more incredible.

Teaching via holograms and live links..
Classrooms will become much more modern with various technology devices for children to choose from. Learning will be focused around using the internet with exams being taken online much more frequently and even from phone devices.
Smelling
Phones could soon develop a nose more sensitive than our own, able to assess cleanliness of a room or a person’s breath! OUR PHONES ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNISE SMELLY BREATHE :O I WONDER WHETHER THEY WILL HAVE MINTS?
Seeing
New recognition systems will enable specific visual features to be identified and isolated. This could mean pinpointing a particular face in a crowd or even saving lives by spotting medical anomalies.
