Is the Classroom Dead?

Today, technology in the classroom is becoming more and more prevalent, if not essential, in our new pandemic reality.  However, with charter schools, cyberschools, and LMSs (Learning Management Systems) being created daily, it’s becoming more likely (as opposed to possible) that the classroom isn’t the only thing in education that will be “flipped” in the near future.

While educators and instructional media technologists incorporate technology into the school, soon the school itself will be within the technology.
