Classroom Of The Future


Image

To many of us it seems like advancements in technology are moving

at an extremely accelerated pace, but to those who are following in

our footsteps, the rate of change could not be fast enough. For some

school children in Camden outside of London, Gollifer Langston’s

prototype transportable Classrooms of the Future will deliver information

and communication technology (ICT) on a flatbed truck in the form

of an oblong gray pod capable of providing a sufficient ICT facility

that many schools are unable to install within their own environments.

The mobile classroom will move from school to school, and is designed

to hold 15 students at a time. Once the pod is delivered, a set of

hydraulics expands the unit wider, and creates an entrance as

well as a stage and a small-cinema-sized screen for presentations

and performances. The work space will provide mainly high school

students a place to explore music and filmmaking. The Classroom

of the Future will have capabilities of adapting for additional needs

as technology races beyond what even the next generation can predict.
