COMPUTERS ARE REVOLUTIONIZING THE WAY WE TEACH

AND LEARN. WILL THEY ALSO CHANGE THE WAY WE DESIGN

OUR SCHOOLS?

The scene is familiar: a teacher stands at the front of a room. Children sit in the center, their seats arranged

in rows or semicircles.

There is a chalkboard, a wall map and a globe. This could be a classroom in 1995 or 1895, or even 1795.

Although the details may vary, school design has seen few changes in the past two hundred years.

What happens when you add a computer to this scene? A printer? A scanner, a video monitor, a telecommunication

system? Designing a technologically rich school for the new century means more than simply plugging

in the equipment. Computer networking, video conferencing and new approaches to learning make traditional

classroom configurations impractical. The schools of tomorrow may take on shapes that will seem foreign

to us today.

What will these new schools look like? Architects, engineers and educators describe exciting possibilities.

A growing body of research has linked student achievement and behavior to the physical building conditions

and overcrowding. Good facilities appear to be an important precondition for student learning. However,

according to government reports, schools in the United States need much work.

Schools of the twenty-first century will provide a technologically rich environment, say architects, engineers

and educators. Here is a peek into the future, according to prototypes developed by the National Center

for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
