Future classrooms may see changes to content, becoming more focused on social and economic impacts rather than just chronological events. Technology use may increase visually but not drastically. These changes could affect how teachers teach to engage students and relate history to their daily lives. However, it may also create challenges around defining standards and training teachers for this new style of classroom.

2.  What kinds of changes will be
made for future classrooms?
 How will these changes effect
education for future students
and teachers?
 Will these changes create new
challenges for education?
 What are these new challenges
that may happen in the future
for education?

3.  Content- Switch from primarily
chronological events to progressive,
social, and economic benefits with some
chronological events.
 For example: Climate change and its past
as well as dealing with it; know court
cases and how students can use those in
their own financial and legal lives; or
learning ancient Greece not from battle to
battle or event to event, but the ideas like
democracy, republic and oligarchy
relating to how that impacts the U.S. and
theWestern world today.

4.  Technology-Visual stimulation, but no
drastic changes.
 Effects-Teacher will teach based on students
interests as well as focusing on how history
effects them and how knowing this benefits
their daily lives or could benefit their lives
because there is to much history and
growing it will now focus on applying history
to the present or increase the need to history
positions.

5.  Challenges- Standards on what is important and what is
not, creating history teacher that can engage in social
discussion and guide this type of classroom.
 History has been pushed aside in recent years to focus on
more “learn things just to develop” as well as been divided
out to non-history teachers in order to save money.
 It will however regain notoriety as standards of education
are on the verge of shifting or reforming once again in the
direction of a more individual social student based
system, where they focus on preparing for real life and the
real world, and in turn they will also need to teach more
history courses to cover the vast content and connect it to
individuals and society.

6.  Math is a very technophobic content area.We do
the same math that was laid out hundreds and
hundreds of years ago and it's still easiest to
write out an equation by hand than it is to type
one into a program. (Same goes for science)
 Even calculators throw students for a loop
because of how literal they can be in interpreting
your input (forget one little parenthesis and you
get an entirely wrong answer!).

7.  Until someone comes up with some way to easily type
equations into a keyboard (e.g., an intuitive software,
a math-specific keyboard, etc.) then I really think
math is going to stay away from a lot of the
technology other contents are embracing. Even if
someone DOES come up with some way to easily
integrate math into a technological platform, I have a
feeling math is going to try to emulate the way we've
done it for centuries instead of innovating new
methods.We're a very stubborn subject (so is science).
 In terms of standards and teaching methods, math is
moving further and further from rote memorization
so I see that being really condemned going forward.

8.  There's always a push to make personally
relevant word problems (and they are often
hilariously un-relatable) so that kids get more
"into" math so I think the next generation of
math teachers is going to put a lot of emphasize
into humanizing math and taking the emphasis
off being "right“ (also science).
 We are welcoming mistakes and the learning
process, which is a refreshing change from when
I was in high school math. I also see this in
science as well.

9.  The calculator market has
stagnated.Texas
Instruments brought out
theTI-Nspire and has been
unable to top it because
that thing is a BEAST of a
calculator. I'd be interested
to see what the next
generation of calculators
look like.

10.  Agriculture is constantly evolving, adapting,
and becoming more efficient and even more
productive.
 In order to have an effective learning
environment for students, teachers and their
classrooms must adapt as well.
 Some current technologic and biologic
advances in agriculture include the following:
 Auto Steer GPS technology for tractors and
combines .
 Artificial Insemination and EmbryoTransfer .
 Genetically Modified Organisms .
 Biotechnology and genetic engineering also
corresponds with agriculture.

11.  I see the future classroom of agriculture being
bright and even more scientific. As the future
unfolds I see the physical classroom dwindling
away. I predict that agriculture education classes
taking place more in these hands on learning
environments:
 Greenhouse.
 Field Plots, andTest Plots.
 Labs.
 Laboratories will also be more popular with the
evolution of artificial insemination and embryo
transfer.
 Overall, I predict that more and more agriculture
will be taught outside of the physical classroom
and learning will be increasing hands on.

12.  Scientific studies show that exercise and
movement increase academic achievement.
 Sparkinglife.org
 Transformation will involve keeping PE in
schools, and not cutting these programs from
the educational curriculum.

13.  Structure:
 Curriculum/
 Block plan .
 Lesson plan.
 Standards.
 Assessment:
 Formative.
 Summative.
 FitnessTesting.
 Incorporate NewTechnology.

14.  Changes in the future will be made in the
classroom for the better or the worse.
 Whatever comes, the future will change for
education to help students become more
engaged in learning.
