Don’t Know Much About® “Connected Classrooms”

I have seen the future (of education). And it works. I think. Last week, I was “visiting” a school in Pennsylvania in which I spoke to and took questions from two hundred kids in the former library –all toting laptops and tablets.

Over the past few weeks, I have visited about a dozen classrooms in Pennsylvania,  Alabama, Maryland and one of my favorites, Grapevine,Texas. I have been doing this from the comfort of my office using Skype to visit classrooms around the country –and even the world. Yes, I have been to Bratislava!

I have also begun to connect with an extraordinary group of teachers via Twitter using the hashtag #sschat, and other social media.

Welcoe to the “Connected Classroom.” This is not the classroom of my childhood –or probably  yours. But is the classroom of today and tomorrow.

(US News and World Report has published a list of the “Best Connected Classrooms.”)
