2. What programs, schools, approaches, or ideas for using educational technology in the U.K. have you heard of in the U.K. that sound like they challenge established ways of doing things in the classroom?
Some examples: School of One, which generates personalized daily plans based on each student’s needs in math, and then reconfigures the classroom into modulated and individualized learning spaces. NotSchools.net in the U.K., which creates a creative, project-based, online learning experience for NEETs that breaks down temporal and spatial constraints. Monskeaton High School, which allows for flexible schooling based on student’s circadian rhythms and changes how class is taught based on cutting-edge neuroscience research. Classrooms at Gavinburn High School, which use Guitar Hero and Mario Kart Wii to help students learn cross-cutting skills across subject divides that challenge what learning is important in primary schools.
