CLIP ART ESSAY
Title: The future Global Teacher
Message: With the rapid growth of information technology, personal computers, netbooks,
tablets and other personal devices will greatly aid the teachers of the future. By being able to
store large amounts of data some of these devices take the equivalent of 20 textbooks or more.
The future classrooms will be equipped with LED screens to better display the lessons and as it
is also touch screen capable, so interacting with the lesson is more enjoyable for the teacher and
the students.

Reflection: With the undeniable influence of technology in future education especially in more
advanced countries, a teacher who wants to teach in a country that uses these technologies in
their educational system should at the earliest possible time learn how to use these gadgets.
