As the trend towards developing more sophisticated
technologies to record and assess a pupil’s output
continues, the way computers are used to support
learning and teaching in 2020 may be quite different
from today. The impact will not just be in terms of how
technology changes the nature of learning and teaching
but in other ways, too. It may change, for example, the
ways in which parents can become connected to the
education process. It may affect the ways in which school
invades home and home invades school for children in
a culture that is increasingly permeated by connected
computer technology.
