Education in the Future…..

I had to quickly share this with you - here are some responses from my Year 6 (10 year old) students to a question posed using one of Tony Ryan’s Thinkers Keys: “The Prediction Key”

What will schools be like in 100 years?

I found the following themes:

  1. Digital technology will still be around.
  2. There is a feeling that technology will continue to make things easier.
  3. Schools will be in interesting places eg: sky, underwater.
  4. Some students believe technology will replace Teachers.

There were no real surprises as I felt students visionary skills were restricted to what they have seen on TV EXCEPT for two students that I thought were worth noting:

Does this surprise or freak anyone else?!

These two students showed me that they could think outside the box. I will therefore be watching their development closely.
