Educational Revolution

Reading this article kind of made me feel like I am in the inside loop reguarding changes that are expected to happen in education in the next 5 years. If it weren’t for TEAM I would not know about a lot of these technologies that the article referred to. This alone makes me skeptical that they will “significantly impact education over the next five years”. I don’t feel that enough people are fluent in these technologies that they will provide much of an impact. In TEAM we have explored the many uses for these tech tools and found that they can be adapted to many different field areas. So for me it is not a question of whether these technology tools are definitely powerful and CAN deeply effect teaching and education at all levels and curriculum areas, I just don’t feel that they will in this time period due to the readiness of educators to embrace them.
