Futurama!
I found this image and it made me consider many things about a probable future picture of teaching.
The structure of the class will change – there will be a need for bigger tables to accomodate for writng space and a keyboard. The traditional desk underneath the table for storing a students books will no longer be needed as students work will be stored in folders on the computer - therefore the need of books and paper will also go. However, the tapping of keys throughout the day could cause a disturbance to learning, whilst students could also be having their own private discussions across the room if a teacher is trying to model something out the front. This has made think that the focus is now diverted to the screen in front of the desk- whereby the teacher is in competition with the computer to get attention.
In comparison, students would develop skills that enhance their learning- as there would be a higher focus in engaging them.
