Open access can lead to opportunities that a person or child have never had before. In an open access or open learning classroom, you might find open mobile access, collaboration, accessing of different resources, and open feedback from students to other students and even to the teacher.
I hope to see the future of education where children can be taught and teachers can teach anywhere and whenever is desired. If this is to happen, I believe that teaching and learning will be at a whole new level. Teachers will have resources and lessons that have been shared and edited to make it the best it can be while students will have an abundance of resources to learn from. Students from Africa for example could go online and chat with another student or teacher that is from Hawaii and get the help they need or further their learning by teaching each other. It would be an amazing thing to have children and adults all over the world be able to study and learn anytime, anywhere, and with anyone.
In today's society, anyone can go online and look up something and it would take less than five seconds. If you're looking for a definition in a text book for example, you would have to search the back of the book from A-Z to find the word to be able to define it. This could easily take a couple of minutes. All in all, it takes a shorter amount of time to use technology to find an answer, problem, definition, etc. than it does when using a textbook. I believe that in the near future, textbooks will become obsolete. Students do not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a book when they can just search and study from a computer or even their phones in half the amount of time. Smart phones are literally at the tip of your finger the majority of your days, how often is a textbook?
