The addition of technology in schools will enhance the learning process. Students will be able to visually experience different countries culture, art, music, architecture, and diversity from the classroom. Instead of looking at pictures in a textbook. This may lead to better learning if the students can interact with the curriculum through technology.Jnemo001 (talk) 04:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

technology is an amaizing topic of discussion. It is scary yet exciting to see what the future holds for the classroom and technology. This was a great presentation of information. I thought it had a lot of great information. I think technology has had such an impact already in our classrooms and there is more exciting things to come. I thought this page was organized very well and presented a good article. Sston008 (talk) 01:08, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

The future of education is exciting. Classes will be offered more predominately online at all levels. Classrooms will finally be equipped with everyday luxuries most of us have at home already. Technology will be more of an integrative part of curriculum. For these reasons, it is necessary that we embrace the latest technical advancements and incorporate them into our curriculum as much as possible. We use these technologies outside of school. We use cell phones, digital cameras, social networking sites, etc. There need not be a dividing line between the technologies we have at home and the ones we are allowed to use in school. It just does not make any sense. It would be as if the technical world was growing and expanding without the knowledge of people. No sense. Abitt002 (talk) 17:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

As an avid supporter of education and technology, this article was extremely interesting and informative to read. I just find it unfortunate that most schools most likely have only 2 or 3 of the items from the basic equipment list, which includes DVD/CD/Cable TV access, a projection overhead projector or a digital screen, and tables and chairs. In many cases, I think some teachers consider themselves fortunate enough to have just a projection overhead and television for one day. It will always depend on the community on how technical advanced a school is, but hopefully a rewritten NCLB will endorse better technology use the classroom. Something that I see happening within 15 years is a stronger use of social networking in the classroom. We are already observing it among students, to communicate with peers around the world and enhancing their learning. We are also seeing it among teachers, who are collaborating online with other teachers to improve their methods and strategies. Adart001 (talk) 17:58, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
