Tomorrow\u2019s classrooms will be collaborative workspaces, featuring 3D printers \u00a0\u201cimmersive \u201c work stations and hybrid\u00a0 textbooks in which content is generated on the fly. \u00a0By Mark Piesing<\/p>\n
In \u00a0the classroom of the future, small groups of children work messily together on a number of \u201cexpeditions\u201d \u00a0to create amazing machines out of LEGO , scan seashells to be printed in\u00a0 3D to help them explore under the sea, and tell them their own stories using sound.<\/p>\n
By using the latest technology , such as 3D printers, fully\u00a0 immersive work stations \u2013 which are rather like working on two screens with one of them a touch screen projected onto the table in front of you- and hybrid text books, it\u2019s hoped that teachers and publishers will be shifted from being providers of information to being supporters and \u00a0prompters of the learning experience.<\/p>\n
The hybrid textbook is much like a traditional textbook with text and\u00a0 pictures but also connects to a world of students -, teacher and publisher \u2013 generated digital\u00a0 material with the wave of a smartphone over an invisible watermark.<\/p>\n
Its creator Hewlett Packard believes\u00a0 that this will help the students of today prepare for their own future\u00a0 in the knowledge economy- if in a rather controlled way that keeps parents and teachers happy.<\/p>\n
Education can be innovative and international, and publishers can find new ways of delivering material in the future.<\/p>\n
