Vision for the classroom of the future in not new. Having students take control of the learning is not a new concept. Making great use requires adapting the classroom to be able to embrace the technological changes. By shifting from Teacher to Student centric learning, we have much to gain. Technology is present in the classroom but changes are slow in coming. Simply investing in technology does not guarantee that classroom will implement them. We can begin by "Disrupting the Classroom" and shifting how we incorporate lessons. Disruptive innovation is the introduction of new technologies, products or services in an effort to promote change and gain advantage over the competition. We live in a global economy and we must ensure that our students are ready to embrace the changes that come with these changes. Collaboration begins in the classroom and must be taught to our students to prepare them for the workforce.
