how will technological advances change the way we learn in the future?

This depends entirely upon the socio-political changes that are made along with technological change.
If the current socio-political condition is maintained, schooling will probably not change significantly, except in the subjects directly effected by that technology (e.g. Computer courses may advance in number and complexity, entirely new subject material may become available [i.e. a cybernetics interface class], or vocational courses/schools may be created or phased out [i.e. anti-gravity shops])
If the state of our society worsens, the schooling of the young will also worsen: if America were to become a dictatorship, our schools would be less likely to teach things openly opposing that dictatorship, and may indeed close down all faculties not directly needed for the manufacturing, closed economy that generally accompanies totalitarian government.
If our culture advances in a positive way, and society opens up to the dynamic world of cultural and technological interactments, then our schools will, again, follow suit, possibly encouraging free-thought and creativity.
Education is generally a representation of a government's well-being, as the government is generally responsible for its curriculum, and in a government such as ours, a democracy (supposedly), this then allows one to infer the state of the culture at large
