Imagine what learning could look like w/ the same concepts found in the Skreens kickstarter campaign? Where you can use your mobile device to direct what you are seeing and interacting with on the larger screen? Hmmm… very interesting indeed! With applications not only in the home (and on the road), but also in the active classroom, the boardroom, and the training room.

Addendum:
Check out this picture from Meet the winners of #RobotLaunch2015
Packed house at WilmerHale for the Robot Launch 2015 judging – although 2/3rds of the participants were attending and pitching remotely via video and web conferencing.
Thanks for the article, it’s really interesting. I like the idea of having more control over the process of learning. Ubiquitous learning using different methods seems to be beneficial for everyone. Maybe one day it will look like this 😉
Thanks John —
Not only do I appreciate your taking the time to comment here, but I sense that you’re also open to helping create the future of learning. You get how important vision is; you grasp what I’m trying to get at here. Your comment is an encouragement to me…let’s keep thinking out loud.
Peace,
Daniel
Fantastic! I really like people like you, Daniel. Some time ago I had an idea about students’ desks being essentially giant tablets – how cool would that be?
Great call John! (re: the giant tablets/desks).
I was thinking of the “chalkboard” along these lines a while back; here’s an example:

Fantastic! It’s so believable it makes me regret it’s not industry standard..
