  5. The Future • What technologies will be ubiquitous in the future? • How will these technologies affect the appearance of classrooms? • In what ways will learning and instruction be different because of the new technologies?

  6. Seeing the Future from the Past • 1960s: People laughed at futurists predicting pocket and wrist sized computers • 1970s: ARPA designed the foundation of the Internet • No one dreamed it would link most households and businesses and transform information searching and lesson plan designing • 1980s: The Web was science fiction • 1990s: eBay did not exist Presentation courtesy of Ronald Anderson, 2004
