The School of Tomorrow and Computer Age.
Computers already play a very big role in
our life, including school life. But in the future I think that the
importance of the computer will grow, for example: on every desk in class
there will be a computer and all the pupils will just have to enter a
certain program and type the name of the subject they need. Afterwards the
information the students need and some tasks for the children to solve will
appear. Tests will also be provided by the computer when needed and the
pupils will put ticks wherever they think is right. The role of the teacher
will be to check that the students do not talk to one another and do not use
copy notes. If a student does good at a test the computer will reward him by
showing him any film the pupil wishes. There will also be special machines
in every class that make any kind of food for lunch. So I think the computer
will be very important in schools all over the world in the very near
future.
