Innovation in Education....futurelab
A colleague from the UK had sent me the link to futurelab last year and I have read through many of the intriguing articles and projects from this not-for-profit organization in the UK.
What does futurelab do? "Futurelab is passionate about transforming the way people learn. Tapping into the huge potential offered by digital and other technologies, they develop innovative resources and practices that support new approaches to learning for the 21st century."
The list of projects (that I encourage you to explore) futurelabs have helped come to fruition are exhaustive. One of the latest projects is MobiMission - "a location-based, social, mobile phone experience for young people aged 16-18 that enables players to engage with their environment and community in new ways."
Explore the list of resources .... some may even challenge your thinking and beliefs in the development of digital technologies and education.
If you are a teacher, instructor, professor, administrator - a member of an education community.....you need to read and explore this website with an open mind!
