Plenty of science fiction authors have asked this question and there are as many answers as there are writers: some have even imagined a future with no classrooms at all, where all children learn from home with a machine as a teacher and consider traditional school an alien concept.
But that particular future is unlikely to come true: as much as AI is growing and studying from home is becoming an increasingly popular solution, education still requires some form of human contact and technology is a tool, not a replacement.
Even so, technology can reshape the design of the classroom and the core philosophies of teaching and learning in significant ways: let’s explore how.

Are We Ready to Protect our Community?
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8th, 2020 – RobotLAB Inc., the leading Educational Robotics Company, announced today the launch of a suite of Virus-Fighting robots to keep schools safe and virus-free.
As the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to spread, schools around the globe are shifting to online learning in an effort to slow the spread of the disease.
From a galaxy far, far away to a whole new world, you can bring a piece of Disneyland home even if you can’t go to the Anaheim theme park during the continuing coronavirus closure.
Let me begin by informing you that a college education is not a necessity. It’s just one of the options to choose in a long list which consists of several other great alternatives. Hence you could even strike it out from the list and you would still have choices that are good enough to ensure a comfortable life for you.
High-quality and engaging online learning programs have a number of common characteristics.
We know that schools are being challenged with finding ways to convert their class activity into online lessons and how to train teachers to do so, all to ensure the continuation of education for the students.
Recognizing the enormous impact this situation has on all schools, we at RobotLAB, wanted to inform you of the following unique proposal by Amazon and Engage EDU Lite (Powered by CoderZ):
Amazon Future Engineer is offering free online Virtual Robotics and Coding courses for any student or teacher affected by school closures due to COVID-19 in the US.
