POPSStar trek, tracked inside school :) Researchers at the Technology-Enhanced Learning Research Group (TEL) are designing new learning environments using interactive multi-touch desks that look and act like a large version of an Apple iPhone. The team observed how students and teachers interact in classes and how Information Communications technology (ICT) could improve collaboration. They then set about designing an interactive classroom solution called 'SynergyNet' to reflect TEL's aims of achieving active student engagement and learning by sharing, problem-solving and creating IT in schools is an exciting prospect - our system is very similar to the type of interface shown as a vision of the future in the TV series Star Trek!

Then move along, re-minding one's self to try never forget to always, "Just be kind." -- Originally left at http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/post!post.jspa, ICT.06h21.Fri.13.Apr.2007.AD
