Future Chat

The summer issue of Threshold - a magazine published by Cable in the Classroom - contains some remarkable content, including this fascinating online discussion featuring students (supposedly) from around the world (meaning, around the U.S.) talking about the the future of learning. This dialogue, archived from a discussion at Tapped In, is chock-full of classic one-liners. Here are just a few: "My powerbook never leaves a 6 foot radius of me" ... "A computer would be able to fit in your eye, or just built in your brain when you are born" ... "ShainaE: maybe, but don't you think there's value in having an actual person there exchanging thoughts with you? JonV: yeah, but i don't think that will be a factor in stopping it" ... "in my one class we have a chance to talk to others live, and yet we IM instead" ... "with the laptops my school is covering at least 1/3 more material than before." PDF. Thanks to Art Shostak for passing this along.
