We cover the tools, trends, and news of education technology on a daily basis. But we don’t look forward into the future as much as we’d like. So what emerging technologies should current teachers know about? What will the biggest pieces of tech be like and how will they integrate into the classroom? Will there even be classrooms?
A new infographic sheds light on six of the biggest pieces of emerging technology you should know about. From cloud computing to personal learning environments, there’s a lot to know and the future is bright.
What other pieces of technology would you add to this list?

I believe gaming is one of the great tools listed here-that if done properly, can be a great way to learn about history. We have Hostory Simulations for World War One, World War Two and The Cold War at HistorySimulation.com. I’m an active teacher that has been developing these simulations for the last twenty years. Students are engaged, excited and most of all interested in what what are studying- which makes teaching so much easier and students remember so much more in the long term-which should be the goal!

We can focus on the future !
