Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people

using a computer. What will happen if students have a problem with a subject?
They might connect with a teacher through live video conferencing. Expert
teachers from learning centres will give students help wherever they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for
learning social skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work
together in getting along with each other. They will help students with group
projects both in and out of the classroom.

skills about the world they live in. This will help students become an important

computers will change education the way TVs and telephones changed life for
