Media technology that is being used in schools and institutions of higher learning has been highly developed and now allows for a virtual view of every content that is studied. Those studying biology can virtually dissect a frog, anatomy students can delve inside the human body without touching a cadaver, geographers can fly to remote places and track the last surviving member of an indigenous tribe by using real-time satellite imagery and geographic information systems, and architects can electronically design their buildings and make changes instantaneously. Medical students can learn how to prepare a patient for examination without entering a doctors office. The market has come to the student, as opposed to the student going to the market."
Jeff,
I would definitely agree with you that the future is looking incredibly exciting for students through media technology. I truly believe that our world is becoming smaller and smaller and this means a great deal for educators and students. With the proper technology platform and passion a teacher can bring the 7 Wonders of the World right to their classroom, exposing their students to so much more than what a book can offer.
