You know, when I read about "classrooms of the future", I think of the sort of discussion that must have taken place a century ago about "reading rooms of the future". It never occurred to people that reading was something that could be done everywhere, by anyone. Can you imagine? Reading while traveling 100 kilometers an hour? How could anyone concentrate long enough? Or reading in a grocery store? What would they want to read about in there? No (they may have argued) proper reading takes place only in a room specially designed for the task, where you are no distracted, and where the books you want to read are close at hand. makes you think a bit differently about textbooks, doesn't it?
