<html> <h2>Is this the end of Classrooms and Schools?</h2> <p><br></p> <p>http://imgur.com/SqopzlJ.jpeg</p> <p><br></p> <p>Having a passion for Technological Innovation and Education I am always on the look out for trends associated with shifts that are as a result of advances in technology.</p> <p>This morning I had an amazing chat with a fully qualified School Teacher who has recently decided to leave the Education System as a result of a number of disheartening factors.</p> <p>The list of reasons was quite overwhelming, but if I had to select just a few, they were; lack of funding in school infrastructure, lack of support for teachers, lack of appreciation, lack of enthusiasm from children and a real sense of disconnect of the education system from the real world.</p> <p>The conversation was by no way a means for her to vent her anger, far from it.</p> <p>If anything it was a wake up call from someone explaining the concerns with firsthand experience.</p> <h2>STEEMIT</h2> <p>The reason why I wanted to share with you the chat I had was that the topic of <strong>STEEMIT </strong>came into the conversation.</p> <p>She was asking what it was I was involved in and I quickly gave her a rundown of what <strong>STEEMIT </strong>was about.</p> <p>Her reaction may come as a shock to some of you.</p> <h2>A World without Classrooms and School as we know them!!</h2> <p>The part of the conversation that took me quite off guard was when she said that it was her belief that she could see a World without Classrooms and Schools as we know them today, within the next 25 years.</p> <p>Without hesitating she supported this by simply saying "<em><strong>Online..!!</strong></em>"</p> <p>I will come to this in a minute.</p> <h2>Dilapidated Buildings</h2> <p>I asked her if she had to choose one single concern that she had about the current Educational Schooling System, she said that was easy, "<em><strong>Funding..!!</strong></em>"</p> <p>It was the lack of funding in the school infrastructure that was the number one concern of the majority, if not all teaching staff.</p> <p>The schools are simply crumbling around the children.</p> <h2>What is the Solution</h2> <p>When I realised that what she was saying made absolute sense I asked her what she thought was the solution.</p> <p>"<em><strong>That is easy....</strong></em>" she replied, "<em><strong>...a total rethink of the Education System..!!</strong></em>"</p> <p>The conversation simply went back to "<em><strong>Online..!!</strong></em>"</p> <p>It was at this point that she then explained that over the last couple years there has been a mass migration of homework being done on online.</p> <p>"<em><strong>Why stop there..??</strong></em>" was her question.</p> <p>It was at this point then that I was educated as she explained a new way of teaching. "<em><strong>Online Teaching..!!</strong></em>"</p> <p>I was then given a website to check out .... "<em><strong>Hegartymaths</strong></em>".</p> <h2>Online Teaching</h2> <p>http://imgur.com/15Y4uOx.jpeg</p> <p>https://hegartymaths.com/story</p> <p><br></p> <p>For the ones unfamiliar it appears that this could well be the future of Education and that Classrooms and Schools will be reshaped into more; Social, Sporting and Interactive Centres.</p> <p><br></p> <h2>Families of the Futures</h2> <p>Could the future see children being taught at home, or at Day Centres where teachers are actually replaced by screen and online educational systems.</p> <p>Let's face it, parents are losing their jobs to robots so it's not a matter of the parents not being at home..!!</p> <p><br></p> <h2>Schools 25 years ago</h2> <p>Could we really see the end of Classrooms and Schools in the next 25 years?</p> <p>You only have to look back 25 years ago to the year 1992 and realise that most people had never even experienced being on the Internet at that time..!!</p> <p>So I guess I should ask the question again, "<em><strong>...could we really see the end of Classrooms and Schools in the next 25 years?</strong></em>" ......".<em><strong>..Probably, YES..!!</strong></em>"</p> <p><br></p> <p>Thanks again for reading.</p> <p>Stephen</p> </html>
