Once again, I didn't expect it to be used in classrooms.

Students, in turn, continuously move outside the classroom to engage the world directly.

But the more interesting thing is and this is the unintuitive thing when you talk about technology in the classroom by removing the one size fits all lecture from the classroom and letting students have a self paced lecture at home, and then when you go to the classroom, letting them do work, having the teacher walk around, having the peers actually be able to interact with each other, these teachers have used technology to humanize the classroom.

There's the idea of paying teachers for effectiveness, measuring them, giving them feedback, taking videos in the classroom.

Fewkes and McCabe (2012) have researched about the benefits of using Facebook in the classroom.

In a traditional classroom, you have a couple of homework, homework, lecture, homework, lecture, and then you have a snapshot exam.

But as ridiculous as that sounds, that's exactly what's happening in our classrooms right now.

When I see a classroom that looks like this, can you imagine how this sounds?

And there's a discussion if you're going to increase class sizes, where do you do that? How much effect does that have?

No, no reason why it really can't happen in every classroom in America tomorrow.

When a child walks into a classroom, it should be a place of high expectations and high performance.

In classrooms today, the camera, now present in just about every phone and computer, allows the youngest scientists to observe the world around them, to document it, and to share their findings online.

There's the idea of paying teachers for effectiveness, measuring them, giving them feedback, taking videos in the classroom.

But as ridiculous as that sounds, that's exactly what's happening in our classrooms right now.

If you look at classrooms right adjacent to one another, they have very similar ecosystems, but if you go to an office that is a farther walking distance away, the ecosystem is fundamentally different.

Many parents and educators have been fearful of the repercussions of having social media in the classroom.

This photograph, which I took at the orphanage of one of the classrooms, shows a sign which I had translated when I got home.

(Noisy conversation) This study in Germany found the average noise level in classrooms is 65 decibels.

164. Following the resumption of normal educational activities, especially in Montserrado District, some 10 students were enrolled in the courses.

Give teachers scripts to follow in the classroom, so even if they don't know what they're doing and don't care about the welfare of our kids, as long as they follow the scripts, our kids will get educated.

You've given the lectures, so now what we do ... and this could happen in every classroom in America tomorrow,
