Schools, will only need one major thing to be prepared for the future. They will not need software installed, servers or local file storage. Schools will need a fast robust internet connection.
Infrastructure is paramount to the future of technology in education. What we do know, is that it will need the cloud. Schools and other educational institutions will need to future proof their infrastructure the best they can.
This should be happening now. If you want to start to use mobile technology in your school, water it is an iPad program or a bring your own device BYOD program your connectivity must be fast and reliable, Student and teacher buy in, is so important.
If the network is slow and things are not working properly students and teachers will not want to use the devices. Make sure the infrastructure is there before the devices. Teachers can use the cloud to set, Collect and grade work online. Students will have instant access to grades, comments and work via a computer, smartphone or tablet. Many schools are already doing this.
Plus, services such as the educational social network Edmodo offer this for free. This is where devices come in. All devices no matter which ones we will use in the future will need to access the cloud. Each student will have their own. Either a device specified by the school or one they have chosen to bring in themselves.
School classrooms are going to change. Thanks to the cloud and mobile devices, technology will be integrated into every part of school. Games fields, gyms and school trips will all change.
Whether offsite or on site the school, teachers, students and support staff will all be connected. In my ideal world, all classrooms will be paperless. With the cloud, the world will be our classroom. E-learning will change teaching and learning. Students can learn from anywhere and teaches can teach from any where.
The cloud can also encourage independent learning. Teachers could adopt a flipped classroom approach more often. Students will take ownership of their own learning. Teachers can put resources for students online for students to use. These could be videos, Documents, audio podcasts or interactive images. There is also a massive amount of resources online that students can find and use themselves,Without the help of the teacher.
This of course means the role of the teacher will change. Shred applications and documents on the cloud, such as Google Apps will allow for more social lessons.
