<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>People may be interested in this link to a BBC series on Visions for the future which screened on BBC knowledge recently. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/visions-future.shtml">http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/visions-future.shtml</a> The last show which I am still trying to get hold of had mocks up of Video links with 3D imaging: so you were talking to a life sized virtual image of a person in another country. In the same show they had a section on second life. These sorts of videos I have found are useful ways of getting staff interested and excited about IT. The ones the artificial intellgence revolution are also equally interesting.<BR>

"So while the mish-mash of technology may prove to be challenging for teachers and IT staff to manage and control, in the end this isn't about management or control of learning. It's about helping students use the tools and gifts they have at their disposal, maximizing that potential and showing them new possibilities as well." <BR>
(think of tablet style computers they take home, not smuggled away in class sets)<BR>

This is an article by a school system that decided rather then buying students a laptop they would encourage all students to bring their own technology to school everyday. The second link is the school website. Looks like they are using Google apps and open office.<BR>
