Technology and schools

 Will technology  replace schools ?
       Text :
             1-  Some people believe that soon schools will no longer be necessary. These people say that
         because of the Internet and other new technology , there is no longer any need for school buildings,
         formal classes or teachers. Perhaps, this will be true one day, but it is hard for me to imagine a world
         without schools. In fact, we need to look at how we can use new technology to make schools better
         not to eliminate them.

             2-   We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers,
         laboratories and even corporations. Corporations ought to create learning programs for schools in
         their area of expertise. Independent experts could give talks to video or over the Internet.
         TV networks and local stations could develop programming about things students are actually
         studying in school. Laboratories could set up websites to demonstrate new technology so students 
         could view it on the Internet.
              3-   Is this just a dream? No. Already there are several towns where this is beginning to happen. 
         Blacksburg, Virginia, is one of them. Here the entire city is linked to the Internet, and learning can
         take place at home, at school and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the
         community. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home.
         Because everyone has Internet access, older people participate as much as younger ones, and               everyone can visit distant libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones.
             4-   How will this new kind of schools change learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very
         exciting to think about. Technology will change the way we learn; schools change as well; and we
         will all learn something in the process.
