A look at education through future fiction

David Warlick has an interesting story that looks at how our education system might function in the future. This story originally appeared in March 2004 but it's worth checking out. In this prognostication, the excerpt that's published online is set in 2014 -- a mere 8 years from now -- so it won't take long to see how close to the mark Mr. Warlick comes with his shot at the future.

There are a few similarities to Darwin's Orphan in the application of current audio-visual trends of today being expanded in future use. I agree with Mr. Warlick that there are many technologies that are currently not leveraged in the education realm that should be very soon. It's a good story and really makes one think about how the world of education should (or may) be in the future.

I like the challenge that he makes in the header of Technology Connection...we should all take on the challenge of mustering up courage to make changes that we oftentimes don't.
