“Technology has changed the way I deliver content to students and the
products I expect back from students. The use of technology is more
consistent with how the students interact with the world and with what
will be expected of them in the future.”

Design the Ultimate School of the Future (Student Panelists- NECC)
Access• Use internet to full capacity
– “When a student is failed for cheating – other students get the message”
• Provide access to online databases and teach students how to use them
• Computers– 24/7 student access to computers
– One computer per student for the entire school year – replace pen and paper – do things electronically
– Tablet pc or laptop can be used for note taking and other things
![Page 29: 21st-Century Learners Design Ultimate School of the Future Today](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55496246b4c905e94e8b5995/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
(c) Project Tomorrow 2007
Devices & Tools• Give laptops to everyone
– Puts students on a level playing field– It’s easier to do school work with a laptop
• Online text book – hard to access – registry process is difficult– Recommend registering by school

(c) Project Tomorrow 2007
Devices & Tools• Mp3 players
– Colleges offer podcasts of professors lessons – why not have teachers podcast lesson so that students can listen
• Email/IM– Teachers available via email is convenient– Kids ignore mass mailings from teachers & schools– Better managed emails– Access to IM allows students to easily work on group
projects• You Tube
– Provide educational version of You Tube

decrease– Virtual worlds are a meeting place

Further analysis on that data:
By gender
By grade
By self assessment of tech skills
By home access to technology
By fluency with communications devices and tools
By familiarity with online learning
Are there differences in how students imagine the ultimate school of the
future?

Bottom Line #1: All kids want laptops.

(c) Project Tomorrow 2007
Key findings from further data analysis
By gender
Girls are more interested than boys in:
Email, IM and blogs to be used by teachers, students and parents to communicate
Digital cameras, video equipment and a film studio
![Page 43: 21st-Century Learners Design Ultimate School of the Future Today](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55496246b4c905e94e8b5995/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
(c) Project Tomorrow 2007
Key findings from further data analysis
By grade
Some differentiation by grade level does exist.
Students in grades 6-9 have stronger interest in:
Cell phones, handhelds & MP3s for schoolwork
Students in grades 10-12 have stronger interest in:
Online textbooks
Online classes
Email/IM/blogs for communications
Time for individual work with technology
![Page 44: 21st-Century Learners Design Ultimate School of the Future Today](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55496246b4c905e94e8b5995/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
(c) Project Tomorrow 2007
Key findings from further data analysis
By self assessment of tech skills Big differences between advanced tech users and beginner tech users #1 desire for advanced tech users:
time to work with technology individually (55%) only 28% of beginners interested in that feature
Beginners much less interested in using email/IM/blogs for communications (28% vs 53% of advanced users)
Less than ¼ of beginners are interested in online textbooks or online classes – over 42% of advanced users rate those as important

Key findings from further data analysis
By home access to technology
Strongest views from students with broadband access at home These students are less interested in laptops for home use but strongly
interested in using email/IM/blogs for communications.
Priorities are the same for students with “no computer” and students with “no Internet access” and “dialup access.”
Laptops
Handhelds
Time for individualized work with technology

Key findings from further data analysis
By fluency with communications devices and tools
Students who say “cell phones for texting” are their favorite communications tools are most interested in using handhelds for learning.
Students who say “IM” is their favorite communications tool are most interested in email/IM/blogs for learning.
Students who prefer “email,” that same response is #2.

(c) Project Tomorrow 2007
Key findings from further data analysis
By familiarity with online learning
Strongest interest in online learning: Students who have taken an online class outside of school (42%)
Students who want to take an online class (47%)
Time to work with technology is a big issue for students who want to take an online class Not an issue for students who have taken an online class through school.
Students who are not interested in taking an online class are still very interested in laptops, handhelds and film making equipment – just like the other kids!
