Everybody type their thoughts here... Don't forget, I'd like each of you to mention one specific technology mentioned in each article in your writeup.

Ersilia and Daisy

"The classrooms look like a cross between a work office, public library, and movie set with individual student cubicles decorated to express each students personality and interests.." We think that the classrooms in the year 2020 will include just that. The students will each own and operate their own computers. This will allow for maturity and responsibility for taking care of their own property. The students will learn through wikispaces as we are practicing. the teachers will previously make them up, and have the opportunity to not come to school. there will be cameras in each classroom and also supervisors tracing the hallways.

Giselle Velez / Bernice Ayala

Being that most public schools in today's society do not use the technological advances offered to them, we believe that someday all the students should have a computer on their desk. In this way, teachers like us, can incorporate webquest lessons into the classroom. The students will be more engaged in their work and can also work in groups -- being that the children get restless while being taught at the rug or at the desks without the computer. They will also feel more in tune with today's society. They will become more motivated in their academic work.

Fabiola Rodriguez

The conventional classroom will not exist. I think that each student will be given a computer for mjaor subjects such as English, Math, and Science. Technology is always good when is being used with moderation. I also beleive that this will make that teacher job easier because that means that the teacher can reuse the lesson plan for the following year.However I am afraid that this method can affect the relationship between the teacher and the student.

Ramona Ramirez

I think that in 2020 the eduacation will going to be, about technology. and that everything will be base on science. maybe all children or students will have to learnd how to use the computer, and other types of future technology. also i think that everything will be esyer in the future for students and teachers.

Madeline Green Martha Reyes and Elizabeth Sanchez:

Instructional technology into the class can only enhance learning with children. Because the world is becoming so technology advanced, we must teach the children of today, tomorrows learning. Peer mentoring helps because children learn faster from each other and will motivate them, but this can only be done if and only if they first make sure the teacher's them self understands the technology of today. I think one day pins, paper, pencils and other concrete material will no longer be needed. I'm not sure about the one shot two hours training.

Lucia Barone Julie Bernier:

Gone will be the days of rushing off to drop your children off to school. Soon, they will simply turn on their computers and interact with students and teachers i firmly believe, in the year 2020. Having a teacher facilitate you will be replaced by computers and the like. The conventional way of teaching is one of which will be isolated as the years go by.
