Signals of Change?

Classroom of the future?

Broadclyst Community Primary School, near Exeter, has invested 250,000 in creating one of the most technologically advanced classrooms in the UK.

There is a four-metre projection wall and planetarium, and every child uses a PC with broadband. Students can create their own web pages and publish work electronically and children have their own email addresses as well as access to technology such as scanners, digital cameras, CD-Roms and software. You can read more about the facility in the school's news room. The BBC News article is particularly good.

What is particularly interesting about this project is that it is not just about technology, but about using ICT to change the learning process. Someday, perhaps, all classrooms will be like this.
