Evolution of Textbooks
The Open Source movement has now infected the textbook industry. I wonder how quickly our teachers/leaders/parents will embrace this new manner of sharing information? Will the community. leverage technology to..pass on the cultural genes of our communities? -
Less Students - More A/V

Transporting information
Digitizing information and producing materials that aid learing is at its' infancy. By 2017 schools will begin to experience a new cottage industry of "makers". -

All Learning/Communicating Digitial
All classrooms, regardless of location, will have digital tools to learn. The student will BE the focus.
