The future lies ahead...

I've long argued that the information revolution is going to fundamentally change education in this country, the way that it has already transformed nearly every information based segment of the economy. For example there is the potential for every teacher in the country to have simultaneous access to the best available content on any topic.

The Wisconsin Academy is sponsoring a lecture tonight on the topic "Digital Media and the Future of Schooling: A Look at the 2050 Classroom" at 7:00pm tonight. Predicting the future 40 years out is always a risky undertaking, but an examination of the potential currently available technology has as a agent change in the classroom is certainly a worthwhile effort.
