I was reading this article about "Classrooms of the Future" by David Warlick and something caught my eye. David met with coaches in Pennsylvania and they discussed how they would make classrooms better. They came down to twelve items they thought would greatly improve classrooms. They included lab tops, web cameras, scanners, and video cameras. I personally think it would be very cool to have all of this technology in classrooms. It would greatly impact the way students learn. If these changes occur I believe that we would see fewer drop outs in high schools around the nation. In addition this would increase the access to resources in classrooms and at home. If this approach is taken then schools across the nation will be better overall. Also classes would be more enjoyable for students and teachers alike. teachers tend to get board of teaching the same thing over and over again. with these new items teachers will look forward to there next class as well as the students.
This technology will greatly improve learning in poor schools across the nation. this will impact schools of the future by making them technological. Students will no longer rely on a pencil and paper. They will instead rely on computers and other technologies. In every way this would greatly impact schools around the nation. The changes to come in schools will be numerous and rewarding for schools around the world.

Carter, the technologies that you quoted from my post are a reality. The state of Pennsylvania has mandated that every high school Math, Science, Social Studies, and English classroom will have these technologies, and they are paying for it.
The focus of that gathering was for the CFF Coaches of those high schools to listen to some folks and then to spend a lot of time working out how these technologies can accomplish the goals, that you described so well, and how they can help the teachers in their schools to affect this.
Thanks for your post and for reading that blog.
