Education and how it has been shaped and changed

People have been learning all their lives, we are learning all the time, whether we are sat at a computor nosing around at someones facebook page, or whether we are reading the calorie information on the back of a chocolate bar, it doesn't matter what time of day it is, or where you are, we are learning with every thing that we do.

Within learning environments and in and around the home education is changing rapidly, and there's nothing we can do about it. Technologies are progressing with bigger and better sourses of power and machines such as ipads and touch-screen laptops which people can use for typing out reports/essays/assignments or letters. Even boards in schools are computored and have pens (which are hard to use..but practise makes perfect) but are clear to copy from.

In a group we conducted a presentation about what education was like ten years ago: Here are some of the examples of what we wrote about:

• Ten years ago, primary schools used mostly white boards and blackboards.

• Ten years ago, reading corners the children would listen to cassettes while reading a book.

• Ten years ago, there usually was a television trolley where you would have a vcr player.

• Ten years ago, some schools would have a computer per classroom or a computer suite which kept developing throughout the years. On these computers children would use paint, spelling games, reading games and mathematic games.
