Classroom's of the Future

Classrooms for the Future...Yes i just read it "Redesigning Education," do those words make sense. Is it possible to redesign education? When we think of education, we think of the way we learn and how it applies, but for this group of coaches in Pennsylvania they are beginning a new era for schools technology and the way we learn. With the use of this technology many students will comprehend and understand what they are learning with Internet, software, etc. How can this school environment be formed? What will it take?

Not only will this environment take a lot of hard work, but a lot of money will be needed. The supplies needed are very impressive and these great improvements are:
-one laptop per student desk (cart of 25)
-a teacher laptop
-a printer/scanner
-imaging software
-productivity software
-a web cam
-an electronic whiteboard
-a projector
-up to three digital still cameras (per eligible school)
-up to five digital video cameras (per eligible school)
-Infrastructure (wireless network, servers)
-technical support


These improvements will be made for every core class and subject, but also will help students with there work and become more experienced with technology.
