Think what it will be like to teach in 10 years? 20 years? What kind of classroom or learning environment do you want for the future?

Write a 6 page paper in which you:

1. Describe your current or chosen education situation (classroom teacher)
   • What is the current prevalent learning theory that you see in this environment?
   • Explain why you think this is.
2. Research past trends in education.
   • Pick one education technology that failed to make it or is now obsolete.
   • Discuss why you think it did not last from a practical and theoretical perspective. For example, Channel One schools was a corporate-school partnership (started in 1989) that gave every classroom in a middle or high school a TV, two VCRs for the school, and a satellite dish. In return, students had to watch a 12-minute news program each morning, which contained 2 minutes of commercials. This program didn’t last very long even though at its peak, over 1,000 schools participated.
3. Research emerging technologies in education.
   • Pick the top 3 that you think will have the most impact on your current or chosen education situation for the next 10 years.
   • Describe these technologies and why you think they will have an impact from a learning theory perspective.
4. From your research and your own experience, what do you want the “classroom of the future” to be like in 10 years?
   • Write up a detailed plan and explain your choices.
   • Note this can be a physical classroom, a blended learning situation, or an online classroom.
   • Explain how it works with your own philosophy of education.
5. Provide at least five references that support your analyses.
   • At least three of these sources need to be from the past two years.
   • The rest of the sources must be from within the last five years.
