Classroom in Five Years

Haha, funny story: I commented on my friend's blog on the same subject, but in my mind I thought I had already blogged about the topic myself (obviously I have not).

I think that my classroom in the Philippines will look much like it does right now: chalkboard, broken pieces of chalk, an old eraser, and worn, broken desks in a stuffy classroom. I think the most realistic technological update that a Filipino classroom will see is the whiteboard instead of the chalkboard. It would be wonderful to have in the classroom because clean would be easier, as well as having improved clarity of the information on the board. An overhead projector would be another realistic and helpful technological advancement to the Filipino classroom.

I think having computers in the school (for students) would be a wonderful advancement, but just not a logical one. Who knows though? Ten years ago no one would have guessed that SMARTBoards and other technology that's in classrooms today would have been here.
