The school year of 2035 has begun.
Students arrive at their school in an ordinary building similar to the ones
that exist today, except they are filled with digitalized classrooms with 3D
printers lying in the corner of every room. Studios and virtual teaching modes
begin to replace certain classrooms. This is starting to undo the traditional
teacher-student model. Students are able to collaborate with peers around the
world. Classrooms are all paperless. Some schools are beginning to be shut down
due to the implementation and experimentation of telepresence. Holography and
neuro-informatics are being developed; they are commencing to implement them in
classrooms. When it comes to reading, some teachers will prefer the old method
of the early 2000s. They will occasionally require their students to buy an
actual paper book. Most of the time, students will receive it on a paper screen
or retinal screen. Reading has always been a foundation of education; it will
never be discarded. High school students read a variety of texts. Over the four
years a student will spend in high school, they will have read texts as old as
Shakespeare and as contemporary as a script released in 2032. One half of every
year will be dedicated to older books, while the other half will deal with
newer ones. Students have different teachers for each semester. Many classic
books have not been removed from the curriculum, but the unnecessary ones are
no longer read in classrooms. More challenging and thought provoking texts are
presented to a student. I could imagine myself as an English teacher of the
semester that deals with older books. I would enjoy teaching students a few of
my favorite books such as Lord of the
Flies by William Golding and Something
Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. If the education curriculum did not
involve books like these, I would not associate myself with the schooling
field.
This was a rather imaginative blog post I would say. I enjoyed your ideas and the capability of you thinking outside the box and into the future twenty years from now. You used an exceptional amount of high vocabulary and I was fond of your diction and syntax. Good job Tamar!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading a lot of others’ blog posts, yours was the one that stood out. This is a sign of an awesome imagination. It was amazing to see how you created schools and classrooms in the future, and how the students still read old literature such as Shakespeare. You have a style of writing that no one has. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteTamar, your blog post was fantastic. It was very well written and it was written in a different point of view from most. Out of all the posts I have read, you are the only one who thought old literature would still be used during these days. I like your open mind Tamar! (:
ReplyDeleteHonestly Tamar this was a wonderful blog post and I wanted to continue reading more! Your description of schools in 2035 was so clear and vivid that I could imagine it in my head. Your vocabulary was advanced with new technological tools. Your entire blog flowed extremely well and you finished it off in a quite fascinating way. I will agree with you and say, I also cannot live without books!
ReplyDeleteAmazing blog Tamar! The ideas were intriguing and thought-provoking. I enjoyed how you implemented the semester system with different teachers. Your ideas were perfectly planned out and were valid predictions. Hopefully you are correct and reading will never be discarded in school curriculum. I also enjoyed the last part where you explained what type of teacher you would be. I think the students would be lucky to have someone like you as their teacher!
ReplyDeleteWow Tamar! This was a wonderful and intriguing post. You have written about many different ideas and were able to vividly describe each of them. As much as I dislike reading I am actually happy to read that you believe that old literature will still be studied in the future. It was also nice to hear your diverse thoughts on how semester systems will also affect the teachers. Fantastic post!
ReplyDeleteTamar your view on the future sounds awesome! I wish I could be a student in the year 2035, actually I take that back I do not want to go through school again no matter how high-tech and amazing it is. Anyways, I loved your blog because it shows how creative you are. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's is a very intriguing way of seeing things. From your blog post, your readers can tell your imagination and visions about the future. Holograms: Nice! I also liked the idea of 3-D printers. The future seems exciting, well at least it does through your blog! Great writing, nice elaboration, and very clearly written. Nice.
