Classroom of the Future

I find these videos fairly accurate with our modern technology. Other that the overall appearance of the monitor and keyboard, the functionality of the technology is close to par with today's. Video chat, voice recognition, and internet databases all play a role in our technology.

I think they put the integration of technology and the classroom together very well. Although we are not entirely at that level, yet... There was a thing on the news yesterday about replacing teachers with online courses, requiring students to complete two of their high school courses online. Many of the teachers were saying that the replacement of teachers with computers was a terrible idea. I feel the same. Students need someone there with them to fully understand the situation. I believe there is a lot of emotion involved with teaching, and you just can't get that from a computer.
