I am very pleased to annonuce that the “Classroom of the Future” book has been published by Sense Publishers.
This book is the outcome of the homonym workshop that took place in 2007 and where i was invited for a talk.
What i liked the most was of course the topic, but even more the people: inspired, smart, willing to share knowledge and experiences.
The majority of the speakers became the co-authors of this book that is divided into five different sections, covering building design, technology, and community-related aspects of the classroom.
I wrote the chapter about technology-enhanced classrooms entitled “Making the Classroom a play-ground for Knowledge”, summing up my experiences and visions of the upcoming learning space that is not just “packed” with technological tools, but enhanced by a whole new and pervasive interactive language.
You can find a preview of the book here, i would really love to receive feedback (if you want a preliminary version of the chapter ask me).
Congratulations to Kati Mäkitalo-Siegl, Jan Zottmann, Frederic Kaplan and Frank Fischer for their work in turning a succesful workshop into a “tangible” book.
