http://www.edudemic.com/classroom-technology-in-2017/
There is even more technology to use in the classroom in 2017 and it shows no signs of slowing down. Sixty percent of teachers expect to use more technology in their classroom this year then they did last year. Seventy five percent of teachers say they use some sort of technology in their classrooms every day. The most popular technology that teachers use in classrooms are small laptops and tablets. Chromebooks have recently become popular due to their low cost. Teachers can control student activity on them and they can be preprogrammed with educational apps. Some teachers have also been using smart boards. These can be used in class and then the lesson can be saved so students can watch it again at home.
Some teachers are using virtual reality to teach lessons. Students can use Google Glass or Google Cardboard VR Headgear to view virtual reality. The headgear is inexpensive, uses free apps, and uses a smart phone to operate.
The technology trend will continue beyond 2017. Many of the future technologies are in software and apps. Online learning is one of the biggest trends going forward. This helps teachers provide students with quality teaching tools. This technology will connect classrooms world wide for more diverse learning. Another major technology that is coming is 3D printing. Also wearable technology may be coming in the future.
There are many technology devices that won't be making their way into school because they are too expensive, impractical, and dangerous. Some of these include: nanobots, drone engineering, cyber warfare, hoover boards, and crash proof cars.
