Wikispace

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.

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.
