Schools have, generally, looked the same for the last 60 years or more. There might be more technology in the classrooms now, but the premise is the same - rows of desks, teacher standing at the front. But what should the school of the future look like to improve the learning environment for our children? Teacher Dave Townsend developed a virtual classroom, where students could log in and view his classroom, meaning that illness and other problems would not prevent them from learning. He explains how it sparked the idea of how he could ensure students still got an education despite the illness. (1) “Using a piece of software; 1 would log on and get him to log in at home” This was the first step in developing the virtual classroom. He set up a camera in his classroom so that anyone logging into the virtual room would be able to see the other students in the class and the whiteboard where he was teaching and could hear the lesson. Students were then able to participate from home, either with a webcam themselves or just by typing in responses. And it worked, he says. (2) “There was one day that one of my students was due to give a presentation to the class, but she wasn't in school. | put the virtual classroom on, just in case, and there she was. She delivered the presentation from home. It was a sign of what school could be in the future” With how technology has changed, what will schools look like in the future? Townsend predicts a school where students are not always on site. Based on the success of The School of the Air in Alice Springs, Australia, he thinks that students could achieve better results by only attending a school building part time. Build it to a high standard - think something like a Google Campus. Have students come into the school three days a week and then the other two they can work from home. They will be registered online and seen to be doing the work set. Would ¡it work with 13-year-olds? Probably not. But why not try it with the gifted and talented learners? Students work well in their own environments, on their own or in groups. (3) “The schools that many children attend today, even ones that have been rebuilt, look the same as they did sixty years ago” Townsend notes, and adds “We should be taking the opportunity to do something different”
