The role of new media in schools in 10 years
_ New Media
is taking over a big role in education and this is a continuous process. Moreover, it will increase. There are almost endless opportunities to create new
learning experiences for the students and this is what makes new media so
valuable and justifiable for education. As I said, new media will spread
further across school and in ten years from now there will be very different
standards of using what is today called „new media“ but will then just be
everyday life.
One should start with the accessible equipment for teachers. I figure, that interactive whiteboards will be standard by then in many classrooms. Laptops and media-units will be available for almost every class and the students are going to be comfortable working with them.

Maybe
there are going to be built in laptops into the students desks where students
are able to take notes and save in class data on their students-account. The
students-account will be a platform, where the pupils can lend bocks or software
from, save data to and work on later and a page where extra tasks or homework
can be sent directly to. They have a schedule and further information on this
page. They can use software through the school, which need licenses, via the
VPN-client like in University.

Many teachers will have a platform, where they display the lesson online and where
they make further information and homework available. This will enable the
students to work on missed classes or work over past topics they did not
understand. This page will also include extra tasks, which give the students extra-credits
for doing them.

Furthermore,
pupils will be taught in proper web-research and how to take online tests and
quizzes, because this will be absolute standard for them.
In Order to be able to teach the students the relevant information and giving them the best opportunity to learn, the teacher will have to participate in frequent computer-trainings; this keeps all the teachers up-to-date and everybody on the same level.
For my turn, I cannot wait for the future to come.
