How would you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers? According to the UK's Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.
Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary, opened the 2002 Educational Technology Conference in London recently. To start the conference, she presented a video showing a computer--generated model of the school of tomorrow. Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting, as well as more interesting, way of learning. At the same time, teachers will be“freed from their traditional role as the source(来源) of all knowledge”.
Children of all abilities will“form the course around their own needs”. They will“learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment(环境)”. At home or at school, they will follow their learning programs by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts. Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual(虚拟的) reality. If they do not understand something,they can ask other students--“take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs”--or e-mail their teachers. They will hand in their work electronically to be“auto-marked”.
The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality.
