We are very near the end of the turning point in our lives, which was the advent of YouTube on February 14th, 2005. In the near future, we will be able to provide the tools and opportunities for a generation to learn of its own volition versus forcing education down its throat in cramped classrooms that barely have the oxygen level sufficient for a human being. We will provide quality education at a very low cost to rural areas by connecting those regions to the internet.

I believe the online education system will have immense benefits. That is because I am under the impression that when teaching, we will be faced with students who take the matter of their education into their hands, putting forth effort for the sake of their future success and utilizing their computers to take notes. They will have an awareness of it all being for their own sake. In short, I picture an incredibly productive future.

However, I must admit, as a person who has received much of his higher-level mathematics education online, many educators are not ready for online teaching. The fundamental reason is that the educators who are, in effect, are not prepared to instruct under these new conditions.

Yet as teachers, we are still obligated to perform our duties to the best of our ability. That is why if we want to offer our students only the best, we must be able to utilize these technologies to an incredible degree effectively. For this to happen, we must first have the proper tools.

By the proper means, I am not referring to the rubbish that is 99% of the search results pop up when you type “Best tools for classroom instruction” into Google. I will elaborate further, referring to quality products such as Paper, Desmos, and Wolfram Alpha.

Before I begin, this is not a product review, and I genuinely intend for the information herein to be of service to others for the benefit of humanity.
