Thoughts on "Next Generation Learning."

...or, as I like to call it, "Harry 'Puter and the IPod of Teleportation."

I sense a theme developing. As with the Georgian classroom, I marvel at the technology available to Hogwart's School for the Casual Lending of Laptops, and would love to see such a reality possible in my lifetime, in my country.

There's a definite "Write your Congressman!" vibe at play here, and schools -- ALL schools -- need to better integrate current technology, but I'm disposed to be wary of inequitable school funding, and worried that technology initiatives may benefit only those who already enjoy most of the benefits.

But maybe not. Stranger things have... er, might have... er, could possibly, eventually happen.

Also, Wii Sports? No. No, no, no, no, no. In most cases (that don't involve a disability), that's a poor substitute for the real thing physiologically, biologically, and developmentally. They are definitely doing it wrong.
