Even the word studying sounds boring, because that\u2019s what sitting in class day after day can be \u2013 boring! But all that\u2019s about to change. Completely!. Learning things \u2013 even those seemingly useless Maths formulae and outdated history dates \u2013 is about to become much easier. And WAY more fun!<\/p>\n<p>Imagine this: you\u2019re sitting at your computer, and decide you\u2019re in the mood for geography today. In no time, you\u2019ve got your lesson on your screen. And not just any boring old lesson, but one that\u2019s full of pictures, videos and things that go \u2018bump\u2019 when you click them. Imagine something like \u2018Age of Empires\u2019 or \u2018Civilization\u2019 but where you can control the whole world, and figure out how it works too! You could decide that you want to see how a volcano REALLY works, and create one yourself. Or you could play God, and make it rain. And, in case Maths is something you actually like, you could make Mr. A go to point X and see how long he really takes.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take that idea a little further, okay? Anyone who\u2019s ever played \u2018World of Warcraft\u2019 knows how addictive it can be. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Learn while playing games\" src=\"http:\/\/santhan.ipower.com\/images\/gaming_boy_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"252\">You log onto the internet and enter a whole new world. You explore endless different places, do all sorts of things to make your online character special, and go on all sorts of adventures. Now imagine something like \u2018World of Schoolcraft\u2019. School? While gaming? Yes! Now wouldn\u2019t that be really cool? It could be like a virtual world in which you could make ANYTHING happen, if you just know the right formula, or English phrase, can identify colours or even solve a Maths puzzle. At the end of the day, you could say \u201cI went to school and learnt that Chemical A + Chemical B = BOOM, and that calling people names earns me an online slap\u201d. And your teacher won\u2019t even scold you for it!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the future of education is here. A few years from now, everyone will be walking around with their phones, laptops and other gizmos connected wirelessly to everything<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"No one will scold you for playing games!\" src=\"http:\/\/santhan.ipower.com\/images\/parent_and_girl_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\"> else. Something like a real-world, hi-tech \u2018Assassin\u2019s Creed\u2019, where you instantly get to know EVERYTHING about the place you happen to be in. The building next door will talk to your phone, in case you want to find out how it was built, or how the lift works or which side is North. The road will talk to your laptop, to let you know where you\u2019ll end up if you follow it. The library will transport you virtually inside a book and you can even be one of the characters in the story! If reading and watching Harry Potter was fun, imagine how cool it would be to \u2018be\u2019 Harry Potter or even Voldemort! You could even do your homework while sitting under a tree or in your local coffee bar.<\/p>\n<p>The iLearning concept of LearnNext is just the first step towards the future of learning. The possibilities are endless\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t you too let your imagination run wild and tell us how you would like learning to evolve?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, everyone knows studying and going to school can be REALLY boring sometimes, even for those of us who like learning new things.
