A wonderful prediction of future in the past ---comments on Bill Gate's The Road Ahead

I really admire Bill Gate's intelligence, because his prediction 10 years ago have so many similarities with our teaching today.

In our university, we have a local internent network for the experimental classes, so the students can choose suitable materials by themselves instead of "one-size-fits-all learning". Problems do arise, but internet really helps a lot.

And also multi-media is widely applied in Chinese classroom, it can really arouse students' interest and motivate the students and teachers to invest more information.

While there is still difference, the white board or the blackboard online is not so popular now, as a way of interaction between teachers and students, the merits are enjoyed by us when we are learning here in NTU.

I hope to let my students to enjoy the kind of free interaction when I am back to China.

I do agree with Tang Shuhua on her appreciation of Bill Gates' prediction of the future digital classroom and the comment that multi-media really arouses students' interest and motivates the students and teachers to invest more information.
For another, I'm not quite clear of what she means by "the kind of free interaction" because with a view of the actual situations in my university, the interaction between the teachers and the students still follow the traditional ways. Very few of them really take up the digital media to communicate with each other.

Bill Gates is surely very intelligent or he would not have been so successful.

And I do agree with you that we enjoy the interaction on line between teachers and students here in NIE. I hope I can put it into practice when I go back and learn more useful means when I am still here.
