Reader Description

What might school be like in the future? What would be the same and what would be different? What technologies do you think might be used in the classroom?

After you have completed the Reader

Imagine a technology that schools might use in the future, then investigate the arguments for and against it. Examples could include rapid travel around the world to study different environments, systems that allow schools to track pupils' movements, or brain scanning to measure learning. Work in pairs or small groups with different sides to discuss the arguments. Make notes as you investigate.
