Reinventing the Classroom

If school was invented from scratch today, with the technology now available, what would it look like?

We're seeing teaching reinvented through the Khan Academy, TED talks, M.I.T.x, and a very brilliant idea, flipped classrooms. Lectures are being recorded and replayed outside the universities that created them. Classrooms of the future will be to reinforce the lessons that were viewed for homework.

It makes sense to have students learn from the best teachers, and use classroom time to reinforce those lessons. And if lessons could be stack ranked you could get the best curriculum that money doesn't have to buy.

I look forward to seeing how these new sites and programs evolve.
