Although pictures may suggest that the future classroom could have been designed and made by the same designers as the ipod. The mobile classroom or the iclassroom as I’ve loving dubbed it was designed by London architect, Gollifer Langston. The prototype ‘Transportable Classroom of the Future’ will deliver information and communication technology on a flatbed truck in the form of a gray pod. Currently being tested in Camden, UK the prototype aims to provide mainly high school students with a place to explore music and film making.
When the classroom arrives onsite, it is nothing more than an enclosed box. Computer control systems activate hydraulic legs that position the container onto the ground, and allow sections of the wall and roof to expand and open. The side wall of the container also opens out to enable an external audience to view films on a small cinema sized monitor from within the shell. Unlike however the ipod which could hold up to 40, 000 songs, the iclassroom only holds a maximum of 15 students.
Being an information and communication technology classroom i wonder if it will be decked out with Macs??? Something maybe Apple should look into.
