The Future Classroom

In “The Future Classroom” we look at the past, present, and future of learning. We start 200 years ago in the Victorian era of education, evaluate the present reality, and conclude with a framework for the next century of schooling.

This is a summarised version of the slides I use during my Future Classroom talk. To find out more, visit http://timkeller.me/speaking.
