| | December - 20206EditorialCenturies ago, books were rare, and only an elite few had access to educational opportunities. However, today, massive amounts of information are available at one's fingertips. On top of that, opportunities for communication and collaboration have also been expanded by technology; learning is no longer limited to the classroom. Students can learn about the Arctic and Antarctic by following the expedition of a team of scientists in the region, reading scientists' blogs, view photos, e-mailing questions to the scientists, and even talking live with the scientists via videoconference. At the same time, the teacher's role is also slowly shifting to the "guide on the side" as students take more responsibility for their learning using technology to gather relevant information. Technology is enabling teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and engage students who learn best in other ways. Subsequently, schools and universities are redesigning learning spaces to enable the new model of education, foster more interaction and small group work, and use technology as an enabler. In short, the future of technology in education is all about adapting to the fast-changing world, allowing students to choose their own way of learning--combining theory and practice--always taking into account the current demand of the market.
