I’ve just been going through Chris Kaminski’s presentation for the K12 Online Conference entitled ‘Who’s Teaching Who?: Are We Ready in the ‘A Week in the Classroom’ strand. The video in particular is good in that it gives his students’ views on the future of technology and teaching. The prompt questions for this were:

1. What impact do you think technology will have on education in the future?
2. What impact will Web 2.0 technology have on education?
3. How has education impacted your learning?

It’s an interesting experiment that would be good to repeat elsewhere. I suspect in my school I’d have to tell students what Web 2.0 actually is. Not that they don’t use the technology, just that labelling and categorizing things is such an old-person thing to do… ;)

Have a look at the video by clicking on the link below and pay particular attention to the rather self-confident and self-assured youth in the red hoodie. Will technology replace the majority of teachers? He seems to think so…
