What
will the future school look like is difficult to make clear, but most experts(专家) agree that the
school will be electronic in the future.
"Present-day
schools will no longer exist in the next century," says a report in The
Age. "At that time, future schools will become community-style centers,
which run seven days a week, 24 hours a day." At the same time, computers
will surely become a central part of the school in the future.
According
to The Age, the distant learning will be popular and students will listen to
teachers on computers. Going into classrooms on their computers, students will
study at any time, which is very easy for them. However, it is necessary for
students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.
The
Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the
Education Department of Australia. At this school, all the teachers and
students have laptop computers. Teachers check messages and call students back
on a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for
information or speak to their experts who teach their lessons. Besides, all the
lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their
own learning plans created by teachers.
As
one headmaster says, a laptop computer is students' library, data storage(数据存储)as well as the bridge
to a wider world. Technology has changed the emphasis of future
learning. Thus, we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than
the teaching.
