Something I do regularly is wonder where all this technology is going and how it will continue to change just about everything including the way we work and teach at the University. I don't believe that will mean less teachers, rather, I think we will be teaching differently. This is indicative of one of the ways that learning technology is headed. The Internet, being online and connected, is all about communication. A major use of the Internet is email.
People use the Web to communicate with one another.
As educators, this is very appealing- we can send our teaching materials anywhere on the planet, and everywhere can come to us. In addition, we can communicate with our students and they can do the same with each other wherever they are. The classroom need no longer be a piece of real estate. It won't need painting, new carpets or repairs to the projector. Given that communication technology will improve, let me speculate further on what that may mean for us teachers.
