Educational software and the internet are likely to be the most powerful tools for teaching in the future. The use of these tools will become an important way to facilitate the many teaching theories. Cooperative and Collaborative learning can both be integrated into such technology. With the use of different programs students and teachers will be able to interact with other classrooms who are studying similar topics. Students and teachers can tailor software to suit their various learning and teaching styles, making better use of time and personal preferences. Schools of the future will make use of such technology to better integrate many different learning concepts into the classroom.

Technology such as video cameras and webcams are also important to future education. Video cameras have been used in schools for some time now, however in light of new teaching methods such technology should be constantly available for students to use. This will allow them to take control of their own learning.

Teaching practices in the future will need to involve less printed work. It will be less likely that students will need to print out work as it can be sent to another computer or displayed on the interactive whiteboard. Paper and ink are expensive and environmentally unsound, and once printed the work is no longer interactive. Teachers of the future will value continued interactivity with students work to better implement learner based teaching practices.

Computers have been used for many years now in schools, however their full potential in education is only just starting to be utilised properly. If each student had constant access to a laptop that is connected to the internet their learning could be vastly improved. Tutors could be available online, and students could help each other with homework more easily. Learning would be more relevant to the world in which children live. Podcasts, webcams, email, hyperlinks and drop boxes would all be part of facilitating learning. Such technology must be integrated into the curriculum for future progress (Shelley, Cashman, Gunter & Gunter, 2008).

McDevitt & Ormrod (2010, p.13) stated
“Children play an active role in their own development”
“Through these reflections, children’s thinking becomes increasingly logical and abstract with age.”
