Be ready to accept technology as part of the normal progression of teaching. Because in the increase in technology, there will also be more home schooled children. The Internet offers countless resources to help children of all ages learn independently. Technical trends suggest that school is becoming obsolete, and colleges are already admitting home schooled applicants. One of the greatest benefits of home-based learning is that children are not segregated by age or grade level, which holds some children back.
Students can learn at their own pace using the Internet.
The future is sure to bring an increase in distance learning. Smaller colleges fear that there will be a decrease in students enrolling in continuing ed classes because of the availability of distance education programs. Internet Networks will become faster and more efficient. Hopefully, the competition will force prices to decrease for all areas of technology. Researchers from approximately 120 universities are already working on a new project called Internet2, which is supposed to operate 1000 times faster than the current Internet.
