Google's top education expert predicts what schools will look like in 50 years
Schools today look almost nothing like they did 50 years ago. According to Jonathan Rochelle, head of product management for Google Apps for Education, the next 50 years might see even crazier advances. By 2066, Rochelle says, schools are poised to become highly collaborative spaces, thanks to the advent of virtual and augmented reality. Instead of needing to meet in the same physical space, kids could work on long-term projects remotely and interact through online platforms. Rochelle has a unique perspective on the value of teamwork: In 2006, he co-founded the Google Docs suite.
