Which Technologies Will Shape Education in 2008

In response the the article Which Technologies Will Shape Education in 2008 I feel that the way technology is growing and the amount of technology savvy teachers are growing we might even see more than what was discussed in the article shaping our education system. Distance learning is going on as we speak in some classrooms. With all of the podcasts that have been created as well as how easy it is to create a wiki or even a webpage teachers all over seem to be posting their homework, lessons, and help on the web so students at anytime can go online and get the help they need. Students are creating lessons and videos to help other students or even themselves. I sometimes think back to when I was going to school ( which was not that long ago) how sitting and listening to the teacher was so boring or how I needed help with my homework and no one was able to help me. Now you can find almost any help you need on the computer. I am excited to see where we are at the end of 2008 or even by 2010 what our students will be able to do using the computer!
