1MASTER OF EDUCATIONWith the advent of science and advanced technology, it is obvious that the classroomsand the education system at large is expected to become more complex and dynamic in future. Inorder to impact students’ learning in the most desirable way, the use of information andcommunication technology will become indispensible. The future course of education is boundto be revolutionized, as a result of which the teaching materials, assessment practices as well aslearning environments will change (Siemens, 2014). There is no point stating the fact that everymoment in today’s world, technology and multimedia are changing how people communicateand this is bound to affect the education system as well. The following essay intends to discussand critically analyze the future of literacy teaching as well as the possible impact of technologyon the academic learning process. First of all, it can be anticipated from now only that the future will be dominated by thevisual literacy system, whereby traditional, printed books will be replaced by electronic bookseasily available on the tablets and smart phones (Hey et al., 2009). The text-based literacy willsoon evolve and transform into a digital system of education, also referred to as digitaltechnology, where chalk and blackboard will become absolutely irrelevant. First of all,education will no longer remain confined and will rather expand to different corners of a country.With the emergence of massive online courses, students may not need to visit the school, andwill be able to complete their education by simply sitting back at home (Gee, 2013). The onlinecohort of students can stay at any part of the world and will choose to complete their educationfrom some of the big, global schools, that may not necessarily be located in the native lands ofthe students (Green, 2015). However, for the implementation of such an effective educationsystem, it is important to ensure that a fast and robust internet connection and hence thedevelopment of a strong infrastructure will become indispensible in future.
2MASTER OF EDUCATIONIt is also important to have a look at the learning environment of the class room of futureschools as well. As mentioned earlier, many young students may not get themselves enrolled in aphysical school and literacy will be achieved virtually. Even though some students may prefer togo to the schools, they will not be over dependent on the teacher, and are likely to be providedwith wearable devices like Google Glasses, that will help the students learn digitally viaelectronic books and academic websites, without the need of sitting in front of a computer orholding a hand-held device like tablets or smart phones (Palaiologou, 2016). With the help ofthese devices, the students will learn a new rhyme or a new alphabet digitally. The assessmenttests as well as annual examinations will be carried out as well as checked online, and moreadvanced version of cloud technology, will enable the teachers to calculate grades online as wellas maintain online student grade database (Burnard et al., 2006). The classrooms will becompletely paperless, and neither will there be any book, nor any mark sheet. The schoolteachers are likely to create apps that will motivate the young learners take interest in thecurriculum (Hopkins et al., 2013). The children can have rhymes and stories in one app, whichwill comprise of interesting audio clips that will facilitate the development of vocabulary. On theother hand, another app can help a child draw and scribble through the screen as he learns towrite new alphabets and numbers (Comber & Kamler, 2005). With the development of advancedtechnology, innovative apps will be made accessible to each child whereby the child can write anumber or an alphabet, and there will be auto-correction settings, that will inform the childwhether he is right or wrong. The pedagogical theories suggest that students feel motivated andtake active interest in the learning process when they are being provided with interesting thingslike tablets and phones, and this motivation achieved through digital teaching will help the futurechild improve vocabulary use, comprehension ability and critical thinking.
