This article talks about the founder of Netflix working on software to make schools a more online environment. Textbooks would be useless, as books would be found online. He started Dreambox, which is the software he created with lesson plans, games, and concepts needed by students.
I think this is brilliant. Everyone has been talking about this direction for schools, but no one has been working on it. I saw an video clip on CNN last week about a school on the east coast that gives a cell phone to each student with the calling/texting features turned off so everyone will have access to the Internet and teaching tools. I think it is an exciting, changing time for students and teachers!
