A classroom is a classroom either today or after a century.
There will be a teacher, learners and materials to study, but the main diffenerence is uses of technology inside the class or outside.
There is a growing interest in making computers a real part of in-class activities and homework.
The field which tries to plan future's English Language classes is Computer Assisted Language Learning which is still under development.

In detail would be hard to accomplish in a few lines, but I imagine the future is in virtual reality. I can see this virtual classroom, completely interactive, where the teacher and your classmates (if you want them) are holograms, for example. Your classes can be tailored to your needs easily, you can simulate situations and practice speaking and interacting without leaving your room. Aren't there flight simulators to teach pilots? Well, I can imagine a "school simulator" :)

I think that it will be totally different from today's class.Students won't go to scholl.They will be at their computer disks or perhaps in front of their I pads viewing U tube and discussing the needed materials with teachers who are at home too.Community service learning sites will be the place where teachers and students will meet.students will have access to information at any time and at any place.students will be discuss ideas in groups or in peers but through kinds of computers too.I think the problem will be the idea of full interaction but schools will remain open for social and physical purposes.
