What Does the Classroom of the Future Look Like? Educators worldwide are looking at diverse models for the future classroom, ranging from the most innovative college and university spaces, to models of industry and dot-com startups. Perhaps more important than what the future learning space looks like, however, is what students are being asked to do to demonstrate their learning. In this talk, catch a glimpse of what a future classroom might look like, in both its curriculum and its physical space. Come explore the DIY “Maker” movement, and what it might mean for the future. Take a look at how companies like Google foster creativity and innovation, and see what kids’ visions of a “learning center” might look like. Finally, we’ll look at an original way to create stronger community in the classroom using the popular game Minecraft as a virtual learning environment.
