The School of the Future (Required Reading #2)

I loved David Warlick's article, "Future Fiction." He gives the reader a vision of what a 21st century school could look like. My favorite part was the idea that the media center was set up as a place for knowledge construction, not just accessing information. I would love to see our media center set up with more workspaces for planning projects and collaborating using multimedia. Maybe in 2004 (when the article was written) the idea of students using tablets and key codes to access textbooks and turn in assignments was foreign and unfathomable, but in 2010 it may not be too far away. With microchips, iPads, iPhones, and new touch screen computers, it is extremely likely that students can learn and teachers can effectively teach using technology.
