What will the classroom look like in 5 years?

A lot of the change will depend on the budget of the individual schools. I think in some schools it will not change much, especially those with a small budget. Technology costs money, and some do not have enough in the budget to keep up with the latest. Some schools will be able to afford somewhat outdate technology, and some will be able to keep up with the latest. I definitely think that many, and hopefully most, schools will have a SmartBoard in the classrooms. It just seems like a smooth evolution from blackboards to whiteboards to projectors to SmartBoards. I know that with the way new technologies seem to become outdated so quickly, there will probably be new tools, that we have not even heard of, used in classrooms. I really cannot imagine how much the classroom will change in the next five years, but my guess is that there will be many changes, especially in the higher budget schools.
