Salman Khan, creator of Khan Academy teaching videos, calls for “flipping” education: Let students watch video lectures at home and do “homework” in class with help from the teacher.We can easily eliminate the classroom. The new Web widget technology allows interaction between the teachers computer mouse and the students computer mouse. Intelligent tracking of the student's mouse lets the widget know what problems he is dealing with. That information transmitted to the teachers computer, allows the teacher to immediately redirect the students attention to the proper actions.
Combine that technology with private student blogs, on line interactive learning tools, on line information sources; and the class room becomes obsolete. The only thing we need to retain are weekly seminars, about two hours each with ten or less students per seminar.
