Now that you have read many of the Future School projects, what are you thinking? Wholistically, what are your reasonable extrapolations regarding all of the extrapolations you have read? What potential changes excite you the most? What potential changes fill you with angst and apprehension? Other thoughts?

There will be memory chips in the students and this will help the students take their test on the hologram computer. teachers will be replaced by robots, and then shortly the world will end by robot dictators.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most exiting changes will be the thumb print opening lockers, hover buses,and touchscreen on desks.The ones that confuse me is the apocalyptic end of one group. I don't know if all of that will happen but some of those things would be great.
ReplyDeleteThe potential changes that excite me the most are the new technologies. Slowly getting rid of taking notes on paper and pencils, and the use of all computer. i honestly don't see school changing that much. I feel that school will be pretty much the same in 100 years as it is today.We may think that school will be completely different in 100 years, but its school. No matter what people do to try to make school more exciting or interesting to students, its always going to be school and students will always have issues with it.
ReplyDeleteI liked the thought of lunch food vending machines. I cant wait till every class has touch screen computer tables. Some of the changes I thought was weird. Like that soda will be outlawed because it causes cancer. I don't understand that. But other then that, I'm looking foreword to most of these peoples future schools.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at the other projects I think thats the most common extrapolation was the technology advances. I am most excited for the new technologies as well as the way schools are set up and the way they look. I do not think that I will like the fact that they get all the new things and gadgets and we didn't get to use them. They will have more advances and things to learn from.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants the future to look like something from the science fiction books. They want their own hopes and dreams to come true as well. Many of the projects had new technology that made school life cooler and somewhat easier. They put humor in their ideas like one had Oprah as the principle. Obviously by 2051 Oprah would not be alive however they probably thought of her personality and so wanted a principle or staff to symbolize Oprah's personality.Other ideas had moving floors that did the walking for students. This is that idea that through invention life gets easier.
ReplyDeleteI liked the idea of the thumb print locker opener. I didn't really like the idea of the world being taken over by robots one because its a common idea for science fiction and two its not a happy ending :)
I am thinking the future sounds pretty awesome. in most projects included no home work and no teachers. Some reasonable extrapolations that I have read about were a computer that plugs in to the back of your head to learn. None of these extrapolations make me fear full I am looking forward to all the changes that I have heard about. The extrapolations f he future sound really cool.
ReplyDeleteTo be perfectly honest, the most reasonable extrapolations don't honestly involve that much change. The most reasonable extrapolation was a school where individuality wasn't lost, but attention almost was. Kids seem to be getting more and more ADD. So, this school would kind of program information into the students. Personally, the thought that excites me most is using technology to build a personality for yourself: Identifying yourself by what you do with your phone. The idea that worries me most, however, is the ever increasing lack of privacy. The US is stealing our privacy, like Oceania in 1984. I really don't want to follow INGSOC, only hearing the false, rewritten history.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading many future school projects, I noticed that almost all of the school have changed the most by improving and increasing their knowledge in technology. There were many ideas about touch screen technology on computers and smart boards, also, there was many cases of fingerprint and eye scan devices. I think in the future, there will be many more advances in technology.
ReplyDeleteI think a reasonable extrapolation would be that most schools are a lot farther with technology. The only problem I see would be that if schools are having a very hard time getting money now, then they are more than likely going to have a problem getting money in the future. I am definitely most excited for a school that works on both sides of the brain very equally, people will have an easier time being more creative with everything they do.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm thinking the future will be tremendous. Yet, every time period has their downfall but it seems the further in time we go the more efficient we are in human growth of technology and education. With the downside of the overwhelming population, future schools will not only teach kids but motivate our future generations to strive in what they do and what they will become. Some of the best extrapolations are an increase of technology seen in touch screens and stronger security systems like robots and finger print identifications. I'm currently most excited for technology that can cut down the work and technology reliable on green and renewable energy! I'm nervous for the population growth. But, I'm more worried about electronic books and no paper. We will become so dependent on the technology of the future that if it were to crash it would almost not be able to continue! We need to find the balance between very beneficial technology and self-reliance. Other thoughts reside with the government, if we will focus on schools quite as much or not. The government structures through wars, trade, and friendships also concern me.
ReplyDeleteThe future looks very Bright! Some resonable extrapolations are things like personal computers, or I pads erasing our need for alot of school materails. I am most excited for different more interactive classrooms, they bring us more knowledge quickly. I am not looking forward to more school, five days a week is enough! Even though technology, and time changes, the concept of learning never does. We are always looking for better ways to learn. Dominick Brevig
ReplyDeleteI have seen a lot of ideas along the lines of enhancing security within the school such as fingerprint scanners for lockers and cameras. I am personally most excited to the idea of enhancing learning capabilities and how the technology introduced could benefit and upgrade the society.
ReplyDeleteSchools of the future the lesson plans will be more geared twoards right brained creative learning
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that most people thought that the future is mostly positive, technologically advanced with lots of touch screens and robots. advances in mechanics that lead to easier learning and an equal curriculum for the world. our project was an apocalypse scenario, and that is never a good future, a bit frighting that it is very possible due to the firepower carried by many countries.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the future is going to be pretty dope; learning through computers and touchscreen desks sounds sick!Hover buses and what not that be dope.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading over the other school projects I think the most common extrapolation were the technology advances. Changes that excite me most are how things will change like one project said that it would be cool if they changed schooling from left brain to right brain. I also thought it was interesting when a group said that schooling would stop.
ReplyDeleteAfter hearing about other's ideas of what schools will be like in the future it seems as though most people think there will not be teachers. I like the idea of the thumb scan lockers and hover buses sound like fun. Touch screen desks would be so helpful. School in my opinion is definitely going to be different in 100 years.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most reasonable changes for the future will be the take over of technology in the class room. With technology expanding everyday, I wont be surprised if teachers are replaced by technology. I do not agree with it, and I feel the connection and contact with teachers is extremely important. Just the anticipation and thought of what the future in school could hold, is what excites me the most.

After all the projects I still believe that humans will be able to colonize the moon. This excites me because playing around in zero gravity would just be awesome. One extrapolation that I think is reasonable is the world going into a thermonuclear war. Earth as a whole is just a giant fight for survival and tensions are already at all time highs between many countries. Who is to say that one won't finally snap and begin a war? This doesn't excite me but I can see it as a probable future. Some other things that excite me though are everything being virtual. Touch screen tables are already in existence so when they get out into schools and replace books and writing, then keeping track of assignments and projects will be all the easier.
ReplyDeletei think a reasonable extrapolation would be some form of holograms, a possible chip in our brain to help us learn better, the fact that some one came up with the idea that there is a nuclear war and we regress to mid evil time.

the school of the future will be extremely helpful for the most part. some exciting ideas were that teachers could be replaced by smarter robots or virtual teachers. the schools will be safer with detectors like the airport and finger print locker combos. it could be scary to replace all teachers and having robots or chips implanted in to your brain. it will give chances for more students to widen their mindset about school.

ReplyDeleteI think that all the future ideas that other people have are all reasonable and possible. There are many good ideas that will make the future easier by using a lot of technological advances, including learning while you sleep, holographic teachers,and thumb scanners when you take roll. What excites me is the new technology that will be discovered in the future. The future can be scary, not knowing what is to come, but it is also intriguing to learn what humans can accomplish by making the world an easier place to live in.
ReplyDeleteI think schools are going to be pretty cool in the future. The most reasonable extrapolations are having computers as your main form of teaching and having paper become obsolete. The potential change that excites me the most is having school on the moon or learning while you sleep. One change that fills me with apprehension is moving thumb print lockers and using more computers and less paper and pencils.
ReplyDeleteAn increase of technology was a common extrapolation as well as larger class sizes. Technology is uncanny to me. Part of me wonders what we can create and the other part wonders what we will lose. Technology is useful, but so are basic skills like writing by hand and doing math without a calculator. An alternative learning style that integrates all styles of learning would be awesome. In today's schools learning is either auditory, visual or kinesthetic but rarely all three. It seems like school will be more like college with laptops, but I hope we don't lose individuality and individualized learning. With a rising population, schools will have to get bigger but hopefully students can still get the attention they need.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I believe that the most reasonable extrapolation in the classroom is the possibility of technology overriding traditional school customs. I believe that it is possible that paper and pencil will not be used because everything will be on the computer and also there is a chance that teachers will no longer take part in school. Computers may be able to teach the students more efficiently than people. What worries me the most is the chance that everything becomes regulated and scheduled rather than people making up their own decisions.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the other presentations I relized that everyone that I read was doing a positive out look, our out look was not so positive. The best thought I saw was the moving hallways but I think the most reasonable is the personal computers for every student
ReplyDeleteEven though I did not participate in the class discussion/presentation, I am very interested in the possible extrapolations for future schools. I really liked the idea of finger print lockers. I think that this extrapolation is quite possible; it would also have benefits like less theft. The one extrapolation that I didn't like was the one was the theory of another war, thus leaving no place for school. I just don't believe it to be reasonable; though, some might. To each his own I suppose.
ReplyDeletei thought that it was inturesting wwat people said would happen. provided we survive for a hundred years i liked the idea about colonizing the moon. however i hope schools aren't as automated as people think they will be. humans are a nisessity no matter how much we try to eliminate human error, human error is needed so that we can learn. recorded information and reaction to past experiences are two different things.

ReplyDeleteEvery one had pretty simalar ideas involving robots or holograms, I think it would be really intresting to think about a "dooms day" scenerio in which we reverted back to useing chalk and wrote on cave walls for our classes.
ReplyDeleteI think it would have been cool if someone thought of a "post dooms day" school. Where we revert to primitive teaching ways such as cave drawings as opposed to the uniqueness of robots and super computers.
ReplyDeleteI think a doomsday school would have been interesting as opposed to all the same future schools with robots and computers
ReplyDeleteI think that these are all nice ideas, but honestly I don't know if any of this will be necessary, all of the technology and what not. All of the excess is just not necessary.Catered learning would be cool, but technology is getting out of hand.
ReplyDeleteI think that in the future there will be no more need for teachers. Teaching will be done by computer holograms and most students will take their classes from home . Because there is no need for teachers schools will not cost as much money. Also, since each student has one on one access to a teacher, the learning environment will be more efficient and I think that students would be able to learn more in the time they are given.
