Upon seeing the item below, the educational technologist in me asks:

“How do we design learning spaces to keep up with this pace of change?”

Some off-the-top-of-the-head thoughts on this:

  • We need to be looking up and trying to see what’s coming down the pike (as much as possible)
  • We need to try to build in as much flexibility as possible for optimal longevity (though this is easier said than done at times)
  • Responsiveness; the provision of robust wireless infrastructures
  • Experimentation — we may need to hold things loosely
  • Plan for hybrid/blended learning situations as much as possible
