2. Are used for class purposes such as work done
trough wikis, searching in the internet for
information, or doing work on Microsoft Office
(Excel, PowerPoint, Word). The computers are
going to be used in the future although the
only thing is that they are going to be more
complete and with better technology such as
touch-screens, better software and more
features. The laptops are still going to be used
on the future as even they are going to replace
the notebooks and all the work will be done
digitally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zgr

3. For example 10 years behind very few teachers
had desktops on their classes and now even 8th
graders carry around laptops and each class
has its projector and laptop some even
desktops. This will affect teachers and students
as they will have to adapt to the new changes
and also old fashioned teachers will need to get
used to implementing digital work and using
new technologies. This will be a challenge for
all the schools as in 2020 if you are not up to
date with the technology then maybe your
school maybe considered obsolete or even it
maybe considered that the work done on the
school is not to the level of other schools.
4. Projectors: Are use to display the
Images portrayed by the computer, they
are efficient as it’s a more sophisticated
and professional way of giving a class. This
technology may still be used for some purposes
such as big presentations for more than 100
people such as parents evenings but I think
that in class rooms the computers of the future
will already have that feature of having a
projector. The projector itself will change
bringing a more sophisticated and more
complete projector such a better lens or
resolution. This already helps teachers and
students so in the future it will not be a drastic
change, only the quality of the presentation
5. Routers are used now to provide wireless internet
connection to students using their laptop. This is
regularly new in the school as now almost every
sector in the school provides internet as technology
is being implemented each time more. This will
not be present I the future as years from now the
government will be very keened into technology
so they would implement programs that provide
internet to a wider range of people so maybe
routers could be present but a more sophisticated
and more powerful router.
6. This contains things such as wikis, YouTube, blogs,
etc. This is used commonly now days in school to
search for information, to submit information but
mainly to submit work or look for the tasks
submitted to a wiki or blog. This in the future will
be even used with more frequency as more
students will use computers so more work will be
submitted and more access to this pages will e
recorded. The wikis will maybe stay the same just
change some software features and have more
options available. This will not be a great challenge
as almost all the internet/computer using
population is already familiarized with this
software's.
7. Software are used right now such as word processors,
spreadsheets, word tools, etc. This in the future will
change a lot as people struggle right now to have and
make the best software available so in 11 years the
software's will be more interactive and have new
features. Features such as voice processing so this
indicates that no keyboards will be used as the
software will base its commands on what you are
saying. This will have a big impact on teaching as
everything will be different meaning that new
programs will be introduced and new working
techniques will be needed to be sharpened; so small
children wont be needing to learn how to type on
“Mario teaches typing” now they will need to learn
how to talk to a machine.
8. Schools now or even university's are quite big
and it’s a struggle to move around and to get to
classes on time. A technology that maybe
implemented here could be aerial transport,
digitally controlled trains that move from class
to class, this would not be quite large just to
carry the capacity needed for the class. This
would affect the school in a positive way as
now the classes can start on time and students
will not loose time on the process.
