School 2.0

The technology that is an essential part of our world today and the future is shown in a useful way. The visual picture of the schools of the future is helpful as a visual format to jump off of into ideas and brainstorming. The integrative nature is striking to me. Especially the handheld hardware as it will be interesting to see if we move that far with the technology and still keep a balance of the personal and efficient. I may be traditional, but one of the things I would like to see kept is the buildings as they also personal contact for personal relationships. There is opportunity to create personal relationships amongst businesses , community, and the world through technology that currently do not exist. The balance needs to be to somehow be able to find a way to keep the relationships with our neighbor and develop global relationships as well. Other things that would be useful to keep include the connectivity from building to community to business to parents. It also seems to give a good framework for the fundamentals necessary to provide an infrastructure for schools for the future. The challenges will be how to take the necessary steps to do it in a thoughtful way.
