Looking at the classroom--hard classroom and soft classroom
Actual classroom hasn't changed too much over last 100- 200 years
What should come next?

Teacher and students wrote on slates (early 1800's we put them on the wall) Now we have the whiteboard (teacher has all the knowledge)

What about student created content. White board paint.

Put in compature chairs. Write-angle desk (can move around, are designed for computers and cords) Found with new room students still sit in "their" same spot

Look at lighting, speakers

Uniboard
Doceri (?) will work with ipad

Buy livescribe pens for all students (adminstrators, faculty, some support--give them to admin first for buy-in, because they see the benefits)

Customized task bars which can be downloaded by students (even at home) with personalized bookmarks for resources
Listed under major categories like "create"and share "collaborate" "resources"

Many instructors are still teaching in traditional mode.
