Terry Freedman revisits a list of predictions he made in 2001 about the classroom of the future. It turns out to me mostly, if conservatively, correct. I have to say, though, some of the predictions were pretty vague ("Students will complete online lessons and assessments") and some just didn't come to pass ("Schools will buy their lessons in a pick-n-mix style from online content providers" - hard to do that when there's only one content provider). He also predicted that "'pundits' who plug only one vision of the future will be proved wrong" but even if they are wrong, I'd rather see an opinionated vision of the future rather than one that fudges between various 'scenarios' (each of which is no more accurate than the single vision).
