Technology is developing, so it has enabled us to do some amazing things. The question is: "What will schools be like in 20 year's time?"

Schools have experienced a transformation over the last 80 years - from chalkboards to interactive smart boards and from notebooks to iPads. The concept of a teacher standing at the front facing rows of desks with students who listen and take notes is gradually becoming the thing of the past. Digital classrooms will enable students to take part in learning activities anytime and anywhere. Some people believe that it is only a matter of time before cyborg guides begin to replace teachers in schools. However, it's more likely that robots will be used to support teachers in their work. For instance, robots can be used to make learning activities more individual. This can help to improve student's learning as it will help students learn in the best way.

Besides, virtual reality headsets will play a bigger role in the schools of the future. As we are in the digital era, a world of information is at your fingertips with a click of a button or a simple voice command. We are moving away from the time when students' schoolbags were full of books. This is the generation of tablets and 3D Digital books, which allows students to interact with 3D objects by touch. What's more, with visual reality headsets, students may participate in historic scenes or explore the Pyramids of Giza without leaving the classrooms. Everything may be a feature of schools in years to come. However, only time will tell how many of those possibilities will happen in the future.
