Technology Classroom in 50 Years!!

Yesterday we were asked to have read an article that discussed the Multiple Intelligences and how they work with technology. I said that if a student learned best with the musical intelligence then the students could put their knowledge that was learned into music. They could also use digital technology and media to record present information and have it played on the smartboard with a background music. Students could also maybe insert themselves in 50 years into a learning environment through some type of projecting media. Maybe students wanted to go to the desert. They could use some type of projector to put the image of their body into a desert, like they were actually there exploring it.

A question that was asked to my group was did we feel that the definition of multiple intelligences would evolve, and yes we definitely feel that it will! Now in 2008 we are pushing so hard towards differentiated learning for each child that I can only imagine in 50 years how far that will have been pushed. Maybe their will be classes that are labeled the different intelligences and according to how students learn best, they would be placed in those classes. I know that this is a sort of labeling, and we as educators have tried to get away from that, but we can only imagine how far this may go!!
