Robots, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), AR, VR… How will the “school” of the future change with all these different technologies? Learning, where we learn, the tools we use, and how we learn. Let’s think about “school” from various perspectives and share lots of ideas about what we’d “like to see” and “how we’d like things to be”!
