I believe that the future of our education will be focused on uniting children with different backgrounds, along with them being more aware of the society that we live in. We live in a world where we are very divided. Even in the future, I believe that children are going to be aware of the country politically and maybe economically. However we as teachers need to be aware of this and make sure that children are not so focused on the world around them when they are in school. Yes they have to be about some stuff but they are also children learning and learning how to comprehend what they see or hear. In the future I believe that technology will play a major part in our lives. I can't say for sure what there will be but I believe that in our lessons there will be technology incorporated into it.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that within the next decade schools will more focus on challenge based learning. Students will learn how they can help the community by applying what they are learning in schools and apply it into the real world. As we know it technology is advancing like crazy. In another class, my professor asked the class, "What professions will last as technology advances?" Not one student said a teacher/educator and their reasoning was that there will be robots that will teach the classes. This will definitely not be in the next decade but it is scary to think that this is how people are thinking. I think to avoid robotic teachers, teachers need to become more advanced and make better connections with their students. By keeping up with technology, it will keep students interested. In the next decade I think all children will still be required to go to school up until they graduate high school. Children who are 16 will not be allowed to drop out, that will not be an option for them. I think the percentages of every ethnic group will skyrocket for graduation rates as technology advances as well.

Struggles:

I think over the next decade, schools across the country are going to continue to be seen as one of many political battlegrounds. They will be weaponized as a way of pushing one's own agenda onto a slate of developing minds, and in turn will also be used as a way to attempt and create distrust in opposing political parties. Furthermore, in a post pandemic world, now more than ever, schools are going to be forced to begin the transition into increased technological utilization. While there will be a learning curve for teachers who have been teaching for a long time, there is also bound to be a learning curve for what is acceptable when it comes to student moderation. There have been numerous instances of students not being monitored enough leading to some sort of disaster, but inversely, many instances where said monitoring led to a blatant invasion of the student's privacy, leading to situations that may have never occurred has the student's privacy not been invaded. Finally, there is likely going to be a drastic increase with parent involvement when it comes to what their children is learning and how it is being done. Teachers will likely have to struggle with parents that want to micro manage every aspect of their child's education, or parents who want to accuse the teachers of indoctrination of their child into a particular mindset.

Relief/Benefits

I believe that all of these struggles will lead to benefits. Through continued political discourse, we will eventually reach a breaking point, at which time, we will hopefully be able to finally see past our differences and focus on making sure that schools are well equipped to do what they are supposed to; educate the next generation. We will hopefully see the implementation of new and more effective standards, as well as increased funding for new supplies, and better support for teachers who work hard to make sure the students succeed. I also think that through the forced implementation of technology, we will eventually find that happy middle ground where we permit students enough freedom to live their lives as normal, without invading their privacy, but also be able to monitor for any signs of dangerous plans or thoughts, and help those students in particular find the correct resources to help them. Furthermore, technology all around is good for our students, as the numerous benefits it provides, when utilized correctly, can serve to strongly enhance and reinforce their education. Finally, parents wanting to become more involved in their children's education can be a move in the right direction, and so long as both schools and teachers are able to implement healthy boundaries, the support from parents can help to enhance not only their students education, but all those who follow in their steps, as parents can help districts to advocate for more resources that can better the student experience and they can help in the organization of events that help build student character.

I believe that in the future of education, schools will incorporate even more technology than they already use. I think schools are discovering more ways technology can be incorporated into the classroom for educational purposes, as well as hands on learning. I also believe that the curriculums will be adjusted to the current world we live in and teachers will be teaching children how to apply what they are being taught to something other than a test or handout.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in the future schools will continue to incorporate technology and technology will become more advanced and will be used to its best ability. Teachers will be adjusting to the world we live in and teach their students about what is happening and how to apply it in the real world and that it is not just important to learn about but to use what they learn in the classroom in their lives outside of school.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that within the next decade there will definitely be a more technology based type learning. This is especially since we just came from a pandemic where we were forced for two years to work off technology strictly. I also feel that when it comes to the learning aspect, our future students will be more aware of things in society so there will be more of a balance of learning the basic curriculum with a mix of being activists for real life current issues. This is especially since social media plays such a big aspect that kids are growing up faster since they are exposed to more due to media.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the future of education lies in the hands of our evolving world of technology. Even though technology is a huge part of the curriculum today, in a decade, it will be even bigger. One thing that I think may be a reality in a decade is holographic teachers. For instance, if a teacher calls out of work today due to COVID, teachers tend to hold a zoom class instead. When holograms are incorporated in the classroom in a decade or so, I think students will be able to be in class while the teacher can also be "present" via hologram. The only thing that worries me with this future of technology is that I hope it does not take away the education from the students. In a decade, I can see education as a whole improving greatly due to technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that as time progresses, the education system will continue to be more challenging and pressuring for students. Due to the advances in technology that have most certainly benefited societies in numerous aspects, the availability of resources to teach one's self will leave students with more information to know in less time. Although we currently have the knowledge of the world at our fingertips, I believe that future students will have to learn the most efficient methods to recall information and not necessarily absorb it. I hope that advances in technology are not met by schools to put the same weight on their students which could deter them from continuing their education. I imagine that school curriculums will progressively change and adapt to the development of societies. Lastly, I hope that teacher anxiety decreases over the course of the future. Through this anxiety, we see fears to lead minority students in urban neighborhoods towards success in which the article recites. Teachers are the drivers for the future and can change the course of their students' lives entirely. We cannot let stereotypes dictate a child's future or a teacher's ability to thrive as an educator.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that in the next decade education technology will be even more prominent. From the pandemic schools realized that we can go to class and learn through zoom calls. This created a flexible way for students and teachers to meet up. On the other side this stops face to face interactions. This is one of my fears. Face to face interaction is so important. It allows for understanding and students to gain social skills. Social skills are very important as they are used in everyday and are crucial in many careers. I also believe the future of education will also stop using paper and only allow students to use computers for their work. I think it is important for people to be able to write with a pen and paper. I hope that the future of education creates a place for students to be able to learn about more topics that they are interested in. This will make students more excited to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future, I think education might look a lot different. I think teaching and learning is going to be a lot more inclusive with the use of technology and the expansion in our ability to incorporate new types of learning. I think learning will become less textbook based work, or a right or wrong environment, and expand into one that allows students to use their imagination and expansive resources to find a way of learning that best suites them. I think schools will incorporate more cultures, languages, and outside experiences to help enrich learning. I think the future will use our technology and maybe even get to incorporate some 3d learning. I hope we use technology for the better and learn to create a unique classroom environment rather than an education system that bores, drains, and is constantly repetitive. My fear is that classrooms will continue to force students into boxes and pressure them into believing they are not learning if they aren't doing it the way everyone else is. With the use of technology, I think students are now going to be able to provide answers in unique formats, maybe slides, videos, songs, poetry, audios, presentations etc, rather than only writing and reading based work. I think students will now have access to unlimited information that can allow them to learn so much more, and from many more perspectives than ever before. With all of this, I think learning will become more unique and exciting than ever before.

# data[].attributes.body
In the next decade l believe that schools will incorporate technology in their education more than they already have to this day. Every year our technologies grow greater than the last and it has become a major factor in our day to day lives. We rely on it too much now a days but that doesn’t necessarily mean its a bad thing. The power technology holds is an infinite amount, given that it grows with each generation. More and more new things come out each year that helps us through our lives and education. The education system relies on it to help us confirm and study information that is being taught to us, to be more organized with our school work and much more. I believe that each and every student will get the help they need in order to learn, every student has their own way to take in information wether it being visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. Every student will have their needs met in order to gain their education. Even though some teachers and professors do help their students most of them don’t see that the way they teach is actually making it hard for some of their students to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
While education will inevitably become more technologically inclined in the future, I firmly believe that the future of education lies in the students of the future! By saying this, I mean to say that students will incrementally pave the way for the course of education to change. Still, it must be noted that education cannot change if we, as educators, are not willing to be open-minded and mindful of the changes coming our way. Growing up in the public school system, I never felt I had a voice as a student, and I hated it! So, part of the reason I want to be an educator is not only so that I can make a change in the system but to help future students feel everything I did not -accepted, empowered, and determined. If students do not feel that they matter or have a voice in the classroom, then they will likely go out into society feeling the same way and in turn, be less readily inclined to associate with others and absorb knowledge. It is possible that these students will have a chain reaction on subsequent generations, generating a never-ending cycle of students who feel closed off from the world around them. It is only when students feel as if they have an impact in the classroom that they can go out into society with that same attitude - feeling proud and accomplished in who they are - to make a change.

To add on, some educators believe that students only attend school to acquire knowledge in a subject area and then go home. And while that is true, oftentimes, these educators tend to dissociate the students from their mental and emotional needs. However, education cannot happen without being there for our students mentally and emotionally. By being there for our students, we have to be willing to put our self-importance and egoistic tendencies aside. We have to make room for our students to feel safe and accepted. In other words, we have to put ourselves aside for a moment, and give them the opportunity to grow and develop. By doing the aforementioned, our students will be in the process of changing the course of education. Students will be able to take initiative, make their own judgment, and rationalize.

Therefore, to only say that technological advances in the future will lead to the peak of education is a little concerning and unfair. As educators, we should not only believe that technology will change everything, because technology is advancing more and more every day. Instead of only looking at how technology changes education, we should look at how our students play a significant role in our lives as educators, thereby changing education. I guess what I am trying to say is that it is only when we truly start listening to our students will the course of education change. And, I am in favor of giving power to the students. Students should feel free to take risks, challenge themselves, and blossom into an asset to society. I have come to the realization that I, myself, am not entirely sure what the next decade of education will look like. One thing for sure, though, is that we have to be cognizant of the fact that as technology changes, so will each generation of students. Likewise, each generation is constantly superseding the previous. But, if, as educators, we keep our minds open to ideas, new perspectives, and different rationales, then we too will be aiding the change of education.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that within the next decade technology will become much more prominent in schools. Even from when I was in elementary school, iPads are becoming more prevalent in the classrooms, and smart boards were fairly new to the class as well. I also believe that flexible seating will also become the new normal in classrooms. Education will adapt more to students with different needs and become more adaptive to the individual needs of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that schools in the future will continue to use technology if not even more. Since the pandemic the teaching system has shifted and there is a lot of different ways to complete assignments and learn. Lives will be more surrounded by technology, more than it is now and restricts interactions between people in person. We will eventually rely on it way more then we do now, which can greatly impact a lot of factors in our life. However our generation is in charge of the future for the next generations. We can use technology in a beneficial way and expand our learning skills. Students can learn in many ways and have their voice be heard in every assignment. Learning will hopefully be more creative and unique for the future students.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education will be vastly different than the education system that has been the norm for so long. Already today we can see the changes in the education system compared to what it was like in the past. Teachers are working hard to change the face of education and bring it into the 21st century. In classrooms all around the country, teachers are using technology to bring a different type of education to the students. Gone are the traditional teaching methods, teachers are teaching in ways that fit their students, not the other way around. I believe that in the future, teachers are going to make much more progress in the name of education. Teachers are going to teach in a way that is not outdated but use methods that are relevant to the children. I feel that teachers will also work to make sure that there is more equality in the classroom, and that all children succeed, not just one type of student. I believe that there are problems in our education system right now, mainly being that for the most part there is a tremendous lack of diversity, and I feel that with all the social issues being brought to light right now, teachers will feel compelled to create a classroom environment where all students feel seen and accepted. I also believe that teachers will try to teach in ways that are more relevant, and use books, videos, and other medias that all students can relate to, not just one group. I feel that with new technology and tools to help in the classroom, the quality of the education will only become better, and I for one am happy to see it!

# data[].attributes.body
Following Sears’ timeline, I hope that the next decade of education will focus upon addressing specific issues in which affect students, as well as the quality of education in which they receive. Some of these issues include, but are not limited to, insecure housing, abuse and/or maltreatment, a steep rise in mental illness and educational barriers. I believe it is important that educators, as well as other school faculty, focus upon addressing these specific issues. In doing so, an increase in the quality of education in which students receive will be seen given that they can now focus solely upon their education. Likewise, I believe it is important that educators focus upon both the strengths and/or interests of students in an attempt to not only keep them engaged throughout the learning process, but to increase the impact in which they will have upon the communities in which they belong to given what they learned throughout that same process.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the future of education will have many different ways of teaching information and the material itself will be different. The world we live in today is not the same as it was when the first schools were built nor is it the same as it was 5 years ago. The problems we face today may bring new classes that were never taught before in the school curriculum, like how to do taxes, pay bills, budget your money, set up bank accounts, and other basic skills you will need to learn while adulting. I also believe that more job opportunities opened up with social media and online marketing and right now there are not many schools that offer those types of opportunity to learn more about a career online. With the rise in online marketing there will be a rise in those jobs and people looking to pursue a career in that field will need a curriculum to learn about it. The technology itself that will be used within schools will be much more complex than it is now, giving students a creative and different environment for their minds to learn in.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like there will be even more of an increase with the usage of technology. There may be options for fully online schooling which seems intimidating. I think there will also be a divide among political views and this will cause differences in our education systems.

The Next Chapter in the History of Education

# data[].attributes.body
As the United States continues into the future, education will continue to evolve at a rapid pace. A major piece of this evolution will be technology. After being forced to depend on it during the Covid-19 Pandemic, technology will only become more and more involved in our system of education. This will be beneficial as technology has so much to offer us as educators. It allows us to be more creative than ever before and explore new pathways in educating students. iPads and laptops come with so many cool ways to learn and grow as students. However, as we welcome more and more technology into the field of education, it is important that we do not become fully immersed in the digital world. It will still be important to work with physical objects and learn how to write with actual pens and paper. Eventually, the debate over online schooling and in-person learning will come to the table. I believe that it is super important for children to go to school every day and physically be in a classroom with other students. We can not let the field of education turn fully virtual. There has to be a way to keep physical classrooms running and bolster them with the endless amounts of technology that we have in today's society.

Addition. Racial and gender diverse classrooms will also be extremely important as we enter the future of education. It is important that people of all races and genders obtain the same access to a high quality education. It is only fair that everyone receives the same treatment.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education will definitely involve the usage of technology a lot more often. The use of technology won't even be used for higher courses, it will be used for all kids more matter what grade they are in. Even today, technology has advanced so much from when we were little and in lower grades. Along with technology I believe that the material being taught and the strategies being used in the classroom will aslo evolve for the better of students. Many new generation teacher are executing these changes now while implying "old school" strategies to their own ways. Additionally, I presume that Covid will have had a large effect on the teachers and students in the next decade of education. This could also be related to the increased usage of technology. Now that schools have understood the concept of online schools I believe that it could cause more stress for students. They may be expected to log into the classroom even when they are sick or dealing with something personal. Overall, it is important for the teachers of this upcoming decade to understand and listen to their students, while making it their best experience in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in the upcoming decade, school will continue to place more and more stress on students, as well as teachers. Students will feel more pressure to be “successful” and to “stand out” through ways such as having a competitive resume or getting into a college with a selective admissions rate. Teachers are going to be pressured more in the sense that they are expected to deal with more than they have been trained to deal with. This I believe is a result from COVID-19, and it is seen much more in younger students who missed their vital years of learning how to socialize, share toys, or be good conversation partners with peers. There is unfortunately only so much a teacher can do to keep these children engaged and behaved throughout a school day. As a result of this, it will lead to the continuation of teacher burn out, as well as teachers stepping down from their position. The same goes for students as well, although we are blessed to have so much technology at our fingertips while at school, which makes learning more convenient and innovative, that also comes with the price of increased stress and burn out rates that I believe we will continue to see in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the future, education will completely transform, some for the better, some for the worse. To start on a positive note, I think that in the future education will be altered to specifically target the needs and interests of the students. I think teachers and curriculums should cater to the individual learning style of each child. In addition, I think that education will improve by altering the curriculum to include more day to day skills and important tasks for adulthood. I remember throughout my years in the public school systems, I always wished I could learn things like how to do taxes, how to sew, how to cook, how to write a check, etc. I hope that schools start to teach things that adolescents can actually use throughout their lives. Now for the possible negatives. It is almost ensured that technology will continue to grow as education evolves. I am worried that little by little, everything will slowly be converted to online programs, devices, and creations, and one day the entirety of school will consist of only technology. This can be detrimental to students, as social interaction, and time without screens is imperative to the development of social skills.

# data[].attributes.body
As we know our world is always changing. I feel that education will be part of a big change. I believe that technology will be a huge thing for education. I say this because, I am very old-fashioned, I still like to write with a pen and a notebook. Now we have laptops and iPads to help take these notes. Children in kindergarten are starting to already get laptops. The future of education has already changed but there is more coming. These changes that are to come may be beneficial. There may become better ways to teach, like a science class. You may not need to experiment, there could be a new technology that demonstrates for you. There also could be ways to get the students more interactive in the lesson through technology. Technology does worry people, how addictive it can be but, the world is changing, and new advancements are always coming out, but I think technology would be good for education and we should be ready for the future of education.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the future of education will progress tremendously as there will be the continued use of technology. Technology has become a tool that is used throughout the  education systems to enhance the learning process for the students. We have learned how to creatively use the benefits of technology to create a form of schooling that would be fully online. It has become a way to readily access educational resources and interact with our peers without being in-person. Teachers/Professors have learned how to adapt their lessons to fit the online platform and now have been able to switch between the two creating a hybrid class. Although our alternative way of learning has helped us in unimaginable ways, we should try to keep that in-person way of schooling as that will force students to get up and go to school. It is very easy to get distracted when doing school from home so finding the balance between the use of technology and in-person schooling is definitely crucial. Additionally, it is essential that we keep trying to incorporate students interests into the mainstream curriculum. It is important that students get excited to learn because with that will come effort and genuine interest in the course they are taking. Lack of interest will lead to failing grades and decline in the progression of their education. Even though there are still obstacles to overcome within the world of education, i look forward to the positive advances that are hopefully soon to come.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that the future of education will help encourage students to gain a love for learning. Without the motivation to learn, the education system will not benefit the child growing up. We want to create a love for learning by involving real world scenarios and showing how the material can be used for the individual's growth. I fear that technology will become a hinderance in the education world because it will be relied on too much. It may take away from the magic of learning from a teacher. I know in elementary school I always looked up to my teachers and I cannot imagine what it would be like to grow up in a world without them. Technology is amazing for so much, but I hope it doesn't take away one's love to teach the future generations.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future, I believe that education will play a huge part in a large change for the better. With each generation of children, more and more go into schooling and will gain an education, these future generations can be the change that we want to see in the world. I believe that more accomplishments will be made, and teaching will have more of an impact as decades pass. These students will be able to learn about changes and be able to perceive how they might play a role in those changes as they turn into adults. The more recent generations are constantly becoming more outspoken and more readily available to stand up for what they believe is right and what is wrong. Technology also plays a huge role in that, with news being able to be shared in an instant from news apps can help information be spread at alarming rates in the next decade, and that can have a huge impact and students' development and their ability to see what is happening in the world and what they think of it.

Fears: While I do believe that in the next decade that great change will come, like further integration of technologies and less divide between gendered future jobs, I do have to fear for students who are learning in places like Florida who have things like the 'Don't say gay" bill in place. It can create a very harmful mindset for students and can restrict vital parts of modern education that students need to learn about. I also fear that with the direction the supreme court is heading, the overturning of roe v wade, they may decide to "reevaluate" brown v board of ed. and that would have truly devastating results in schools throughout the country. Going back to an imperfect, and racist, system from years ago is not a solution to education.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the reading, I believe in the next decade, students will not place as much importance on school as before. In the past, people of color and other people excluded from the school system used to fight for their education and an opportunity to learn. But as the years passed, dropout rates have increased, and students have begun to feel more disconnected from school. I fear that we are placing too much pressure on students and teachers, so they are losing their interest and passion for learning. They are overwhelmed with being compared to other students, schools, and countries, thus, they are not valuing school as much as in the past. Also, schools are becoming inaccessible to students, especially college. The price for schools is becoming too high and almost unaffordable to some, so they aren't pursuing higher education. I believe that schools will no longer be a priority for people because it's almost a privilege now. Truthfully, I feel like we are progressing backward because, in the past, graduation rates were higher, schools were valued more, teachers were more enthusiastic to teach, etc. However, I believe we will see progress in the school system because since the 1990's schools have been improving their technology, accepting students' differences, educators became more accommodating and understanding of students' needs, and more. I feel like as much as we are moving backward, schools are also trying to progress. It's a battle between the two, but my instincts tell me students won't prioritize school despite the progress trying to be made. I hope the school system improves, but the pressure and inaccessibility are making it hard for students to want to attend school.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that our future education system will be mainly electronic based. Since the pandemic, teachers don’t hand out physical copies of tests, notes, etc, we rely on laptops and tablets to allow us to access these documents as a way for convenience. This is making students spend countless hours on their screens reading, doing homework, and even watching lectures to learn their materials. I fear that we may not need physical teachers or classrooms in the future. This would be a shame as having that feeling of involvement and having human contact is so important to the social aspect of our lives. By using these medias as our main source of material to do school i can already see how it is affecting our social skills, especially in the younger generations. I love in person learning and feel like learning via screen can be ineffective and doesn’t allow a feeling of community in the classroom. However, I do see the positive side to online learning. By putting materials on line, it significantly lessens the amount of paper used, therefore it helps fight the climate crisis, while also allowing those who may not have the privilege/time to physically attend school, for example those who have children or are taking on responsibilities that far exceed their age. I also believe that education will introduce new topics into curriculum, such as historically accurate topics about our country, rather than completely erasing certain events that might make students uncomfortable, at least I hope this is the case.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I feel like the world of eduction is changing for the better. Schools have been able to use technology for the better. Students ability to learn and gain more knowledge has been a drastic growth with the use of technology today. Students can learn something new everyday with just 1 click of a button. The ability to do group work is only one phone call away or FaceTiming through a screen. The environment of learning is way better and I feel like schools have set it up that way, so the students are more likely to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
Our education system is continuously shifting  with the help of advanced technology.  How and what we teach in our education system will also be reshaped as we get further into the 21st century. Technological advances have enabled interconnectedness of information and people with the touch of a button. The idea of a class full of students in desks with a teacher standing in front of the room is becoming less common with the rise of technology. As technology continues to advance, students need to grow their learning with it. Education in the future will need to demonstrate how technology can be used to students’ advantage, as well as teach future generations how to handle problems that arise from it. Teachers and educators of the next decade must stay up to date with the latest technology for the benefit of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education will evolve with technological advances. Since the pandemic, technology became a huge role in education. Students went from learning in a classroom to learning through a webcam. Even after the pandemic, students still have the opportunity to learn online. I believe that some students learn better through the online atmosphere rather than the in-person atmosphere due to comfortability. Keeping this online option will help further develop online learning and advance technological creations.

# data[].attributes.body
Just like the reading explained, I believe that the next decade of school will be alternated and tweaked to how society is functioning/ working at the time. The way of learning and schools will evolve with the way life evolves. So when thinking about how the world is evolving now I would say that the next decade in the history of education in the U.S will be directed on a very heavily reliant teaching form using technology. As time goes on the more new technology is introduced to us and it will cary into the world of education. An example of this can be seen with online assignments that are used in the world of education today, as well as zoom classroom meetings. Moreover I feel like the material being taught to the students will be changed as well. I can see education moving more towards teaching students about real world issues and what they can do as a younger generation to help stop these problems. Also, i can easily see more focus on teaching kids what real life is all about and introducing them to what they should be expecting and how to take care of themselves when they are on their own. One of the positive thing about this is that I can see education only changing for the better in the next decade so I am excited to see what the future holds.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future I believe schools will be more technologically advanced. I believe schools will be 100% paperless and a lot of learning will take place online. With a class in person using iPads as notebooks and apple pencils and pens or fully online with the class taking place on zoom, google classroom, etc. I think there will be more options of learning online in the future compared to what we have now. For example, there could be labs that take place online with a special software that makes the students interact with a virtual experiment. Or even "field trips" that don't actually have the students go anywhere but it is a live video call. For example, a zoo. The zookeeper can teach the students about the animals virtually. I personally don't think that would be as fun as actually going to a zoo but I could see that being a possibility for the future of education.

# data[].attributes.body
As time goes on, I believe that the education system will continue to change for the better. Also, I predict that technology and online teaching methods will become much more prominent in the future. Especially after the years of Covid and “Zoom School,” online learning became more popular and possibly a better option for some students, giving them opportunities to grow that a traditional classroom setting may suppress. Schools also put immense amounts of pressure on students in the present day and hopefully the importance of testing decreases, as test scores do not define the intelligence of a student. I also believe that there will be more opportunities for hands-on learning and less traditional ways of learning, such as virtual reality simulations that could expose students to how a certain job actually works. For example, a nursing student could be put into a virtual reality emergency room and experience first hand what they would be responsible for. In order to benefit future students, I hope these ideas do become reality and are part of the future of learning.

After reading Sears’ timeline in education, I believe that the next decade will be geared to the student’s interests. High schools will be more career oriented and focus on what they would want to do in their lives. There will be life skill classes like money management. Many students will continue their studies after high school and attend college. With the uprising of technology in our daily lives, there is no doubt it will be continued to be used in the future. That being said, mental health and self-care classes need to be mandatory. The internet is something young adults can get caught up on which causes some to not perform great in school.

Today's discussion focused on how students were separated in schools due to the color of their skin. I believe in the future we will focus on our peers' culture, race, and beliefs in education. Understanding that everyone is not the same and has different upbrings.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the next decade, I think a few traditional teaching ways will be lost/ altered. The most expected change would be the increased use of technology within school systems. With technology advancing at such a quick pace, it is unpredictable of how many changes could occur exactly, but to start off I think, with the recent push from the pandemic, that all schools will begin to use laptops in classrooms. Every student will have their own laptop which they will probably be able use for every task like homework, classwork, and even exams. However my fear with such advancements in technology, is that the traditional use of in person teaching will be less implemented and more teaching will be done though technology where students will be doing from home. Online and virtual learning can be beneficial in many ways, but I think that it is very important for students to be in physical learning environments at least up until high school. This is because interactions between people are necessary. I feel like if online learning takes over schools before college that it will create a lot of introverts in society which is not healthy. Humans were made to interact with each other and although technology advances a lot of ways in which we can interact with each other, which is great and should totally be used when kids are older, in person interactions are so important to have while children are growing up. Lastly, I think that a lot of schools will begin to add entrepreneurship classes to younger grade levels. This is because I feel like creativity within youth has increases and barriers of what are possible have been extended farther than ever. A lot of youths are becoming invested in starting their own business or inventing their own product which I think is great! and because of this, I think a lot of schools will soon include a class where students will learn skills that they will use to pursue those goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education will involve more technology. Technology is always evolving. As we know technology already plays a role in education since the pandemic. There are so many ways that technology is used in class today so why would that be any different in the future. Educators for the past two years have incorporated so much technology in lessons and homework. I believe "Zoom School" will become more important as it already is popular. With technology there's always some new to learn cause it will be ever changing. Students already are familiar with technology and already use it everyday to talk to friends. Although "Zoom School" became important it always decreased students experience in a traditional classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology will become more mainstream in classrooms, and this will be for the better.

One benefit is accessibility. If a student needs help visualizing, they can use a tablet to see what the teacher is saying. If students are reading a handout, instead of paper, some students can make their print size bigger, change colors, or make print bold or a different font. Watching videos, the use of realistic animation, and virtual/augmented reality will be vital in enhancing education by allowing students to experience something not possible without the use of technology. For example, a virtual field trip to another county or time period.

Technology will also make the classroom more connected. This was proven and accelerated by the pandemic. For example, if a teacher has to be out of the classroom but is still able to teach, they can teach remotely. Similarly for a student, if they cannot attend school in person, they won't loose out on a day of learning. This can also help students, teachers, and parents have better communication at appropriate times.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future, I believe that education will be different. Since the pandemic, the way of learning has changed tremendously. We had to learn through the screen. That changed students' health and well-being. So, teaching in a classroom will be different because the teachers will have to adapt to the children or students who have difficulty during quarantine. Also, I believe that more assignments will be electronic. Students will probably become technologically advanced. One thing that may change will be the snow days. Normally, we will have a day off, but maybe they will stop that since we can have school online. Many things will change in the future, and some of them could help improve the way of teaching

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education can change very quickly. As time evolves, technology becomes a more common part of our life. We see grocery stores being upgraded to self check out, car washes and etc. There is nothing stopping us from upgraded the classroom with technology. Technology can improve the way students learn dramatically. Not only would they be able to learn from home, but visual representations can help children to understand and remember the material better. Although having a technology based classroom can sound fun and exciting, it can also be frightening. Everything around us is getting taken over by technology, soon less and less teachers will get employed. In my opinion, I think that teachers are crucial part in learning. Children need human interaction to be able to put skills they learned into the real world. With learning being all on the computer, it will be hard for them to apply skills and knowledge into real world situations.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the future of education will be solely based on technology. Technology is such a growing thing in our society. Since new technologies have come out the way I was taught as a kid has changed, for example when I was in kindergarten we used chalkboards and when I came back for first grade we had smart boards where the internet and everything we could imagine was on the screen in front of us. Within a year the way I was learning was changed so to imagine what they can do in 5-10 years is insane. Everything is one click away, so what we learn is going to change and how we learn it.

I believe the future of education will involve a lot of technology and online instruction. This is because of the pandemics influence, convenience, inclusion and just the constant development of the modern world and the way we incorporate technology into our everyday life.

I believe the future of education will involve a lot of technology and online instruction. This is because of the pandemics influence, convenience, inclusion and just the constant development of the modern world and the way we incorporate technology into our everyday life.   

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education lies within new technology that is being made in our everyday lives with this technology we are able to focus on how student learn best which may be visually, so technology helps give the students a better understanding of their focus if they see what is at task visually and digitally.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the next decade, following Sears' timeline, will rely heavily on the use of technology. We already start seeing this in today's world where we see new technology being created and used each year. Since the pandemic, this increased quickly since we needed to use zoom to communicate. After that, new programs and applications were made where we can connect without needing to be in person. In addition, we are already seeing that more remote jobs are appearing. It is something we will adapt to.

# data[].attributes.body
More integration, diversity, acceptance, appreciation. Working together. The rise of private schooling makes public schooling inferior. This is problematic for low-income families. Redlining is still causing disparities.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe one change seen in both education systems, as well as schools themselves, is that educators are beginning to make more of an effort to welcome a more diverse student body and create safe spaces for each and every individual to learn and socialize.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope our country can be unified as it says we are in the name. I believe this starts in the classroom as it is the primary source and roots of our own innovative thinking. Without diversity and better access to educational institutions for all, we will be moving backwards in time. I wonder if we will truly ever live in a world where there is equality for all.

I hope...

I hope that the next decade in the history of education will be a good one. I hope that the next round of teachers going into education are teachers that are really passionate about education and their impact in their students lives. I have hope that the next generation will grow up to be kind, strong, driven people, and I'd like to think that this will be because of the teachers coming into the education field. In comparison to years ago mental awareness has grown so much, I think this is also extremely important and useful to the teaching community. Being aware of our students mental state and caring about their wellbeing can help improve their abilities in school and their work. So my hope is that the next decade in the history of education will be a really good one.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that changes in school will show changes for the better. the world and schools are changing to be accepting of everyone and giving everyone from different backgrounds the same opportunity to get an education. This will be good for the environments of schools by creating a diverse community for all which will only help educate the younger generation and make school and education a safe space for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the next chapter in the history of education will continue to be filled the technological advancements and innovations that will consume the traditional education system. Everyday, there are new inventions and creations that are incorporated into the standard classroom. From chalkboards to smart boards, notebooks to laptops, pencils to keyboards, the transitions are endless. Students are becoming accustomed to typing rather than even thinking about what their handwriting looks like. I believe that the future of the classroom will be filled with the latest gadgets and screens that will put a halt in socializing between students. Everything will be in a cyber world and education will lack the traditions that have created the older generations that exist today.

# data[].attributes.body
Following the timeline provided by Sears, it is very probable that education will continue to grow in the direction it is currently heading and will incorporate improving technology and electronics to allow children to have access to the most up to date information while being able to utilize platforms to organize that information. Although technology is important, I do not think it can ever fully replace the human touch. With Covid the use of online learning grew and it had some advantages, but in my opinion it had many drawbacks and especially for younger children it is important and easier to learn in a classroom with a teacher face to face with technology aiding.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that teaching in the next decade will become even more technologically advanced. We have seen as students ourselves how quickly a classroom can change. I believe utilizing technology to make our lives easier is a good thing, however, I do fear that teachers might get replaced with advanced technology. We see how machines have taken jobs from people before, if technology continues, will teachers be next? I think that this would be a very bad idea as a teacher is much more that just an educator. A teacher is someone that a student can turn to when they need help, have a question, and overall are just seeking guidance. Removing the human element to this relationship will get rid of many aspects that make educators so great. I hope that this doesn't come true.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the future of education lies in how technology is utilized in the classrooms. Learning has already incorporated a lot of technology over the past few years of the pandemic, but the future will hold even more. This means that future teachers will need to slightly adjust how they help their students retain information. Students have every answer they could ever need just a few clicks away on a laptop. This means they might be less motivated to study or work with the information. I don't believe traditional teaching styles will ever go extinct, but they will have to adjust in order to work smoothly with and counteract the shortcomings technology supports. A hope I have for the future is that school becomes less about numbers and results on tests and instead focuses more on the process of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the next decade, I believe that future schools will be centered around the growing advancement of technology. With online schools being introduced, this created an atmosphere where education can now fit into the lives of individuals at their own pace. After a time period where everything was strictly technology based because of a world pandemic, individuals have sought out ways to better balance social life and education. I believe this creates more opportunities to those who want to pursue their future in a way where they feel comfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology utilized in the education field will never reach a climax. as we grow and evolve technology will continuously stretch and reach new heights. Some believe that technology will become so advanced that it will remove teachers as a whole and replace them with robots or other methods of AI but I like to think that this will never be the case as human beings as much as we love our technology and our advances, education especially childhood level will never be any match to a real person teacher conveying lessons and information. teaching little brains is an art and our human nature allows us to connect a way technology alone never will be able to. To teach is not a one-way street the way many technological advancements have assisted us. It is not a point-blank problem that is able to be solved. I believe teaching to be an art and a mash of so many different techniques structures ideas etc. and along the way you are constantly troubleshooting to find what works best for you and each student individually. But I do think that technology the wonderful tool to be utilized in the classroom. For  school-age children, there are countless amounts of platforms that help students excel in math language science and so much more helping children with basic skills counting colors you name it. Technology can also be used in the college level as we do in this class with padlet. things like Quizlet, dulingo, babbal. Believe that technology allows us to connect with students around the world as we do our exchange projects each semester. Just amazing what a wonderful world and future we can create by strengthening the bond between humans and technology rather than advancing technology with the mindset of replacing humans.

# data[].attributes.body
After doing the readings and using my previous knowledge of the world I predict a more inclusive classroom. A classroom where every student is highlighted and involved. I predict a more comforting space that every student feels safe in and where learning is the main focus of the classroom. That we will find new ways with lessons, technology and material to make sure every student gets the enriched learning and classroom environment they deserve.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the next chapter in the history of education will continue to be filled the technological advancements and innovations that will consume the traditional education system. Every day, there are new inventions and creations that are incorporated into the standard classroom. From chalkboards to smart boards, notebooks to laptops, pencils to keyboards, the transitions are endless. Students are becoming accustomed to typing rather than even thinking about what their handwriting looks like.

# data[].attributes.body
The future of education will hopefully be more inclusive. There should be added care and consideration for all students instead of creating settings that are exclusive to different genders, sexualities, races and classes. It has been too separate for much too long and I am keeping my fingers crossed that classrooms will be much warmer and community-oriented.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the future of education will be much more diverse in students and educators. Not only will the people be diverse, but I think the learning material will go beyond traditional subjects that we have now. I hope that we will have more interesting classes that focus on themes rather than just time frames or geographical areas. Classes will also be heavily dependent on technology, but also be inclusive of interactive and hands-on material.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education will be more willing to be honest about history and modern events. History demonstrates the various mistakes we made, especially in the school system. To prevent this, there will be much less censorship in educational materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the way of education is always changing. Education completely changed during COVID where everything went online, my whole first year of college was online. Although, it was great we could still learn I do not believe I learned as much as I would have if I were in a classroom. Now, and even more in the future technology used to teach will be most of the time. I think it's important for the teachers to remember that not everyone is a visual learner. For me, I need to write things down to remember them, so the technology is not always best for me. I hope that in the future of education every student will be treated with respect and acceptance.

# data[].attributes.body
Normally almost every aspect of live changes/advances in future time. Therefore, I believe the same will happen to education. Currently we are living in a time period that allows for practically anyone with a phone/computer has access to limitless information. Whether this is through social media, google, and even more recently zoom meetings. Taking this into consideration, I think that the education system will change dramatically. Probably within the next 5-10 years. Lastly, I think that the more traditional education system is going to come to an end.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in the next decade education will make advances in many ways. I think the one thing everyone can agree on is that technology will advance in ways we have yet to imagine. In schools technology is already used as a tool to help students learn and has created many new ways to teach. As we progress I think because of technology advances the incoming students will be smarter then ever before. Another change is the content students will be taught. Educators already have a job to teach students the curriculum but also real life. As our world continues to change there will be many life skills that need to be taught for both good and bad situations due to the world we live in. People are becoming more open minded and are able to discuss issues that people used to keep to themselves. I think this will only continue to progress and in the next decade students and educators will be able to have open communication. This is something I believe is a huge benefit for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Education is constantly evolving and changing but there are a few concepts within that have continued to stay the same. The idea that school is a political environment I believe will always be relevant. The way that children are taught in schools continues to affect the students' political views and persuade them to think differently about many political concepts. I also believe that technology will be more heavily incorporated into schooling systems. We have already started to only have online assignments, and because of covid, we have already started to become very comfortable with this type of technological environment and having online class.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that more technology will be used in educational institutions in the future.
Every year, technology advances, and I believe that schools are attempting to figure out how to embrace it.
Children would be able to learn how to utilize it outside of school in this manner.
Children, on the other hand, may become more reliant on technology rather than maximizing the use of the resources they currently have.
Both sides have several advantages and disadvantages.

# data[].attributes.body
In the next decade of so I believe that schools are going to move into simply just using technology. Paper is sparce in the classroom today already, and I feel like it will continue to be phased out into extinction. My prediction is that there is also going to be new technology that will discover new ways to teach. I also believe that politics is going to be implimented more in the classroom. Politics is something we can never seem to get away from and it's corruption. I feel like, like everything, this is going to wiggle its way into our school systems.

# data[].attributes.body
My predictions for the future of education is going to be heavily relying on technology. The advancements that have been made even in just the past few years to technology have altered the way we all learn. They have altered the way educators teach as well. Already we're seeing notes taken strictly online as well as exams. Students will be able to do everything from home, and I fear for the need of good educators if they are so dependent on technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the future of education is something to look forward to. With the advancement of technology will come a deeper understanding for future students. While the future of social media is something that can seem frightening, I think the advancement of technology will be extremely important and beneficial in schools and will help students in the long run. More children will have access to more knowledge and more fun ways to learn. I also think that the next generation of teachers will be kindhearted, motivated, and determined to help their students be the best students they can be.
