Active moving classrooms exists and the sky’s the limit. However, it seems in countries like the USA the sky is higher up than in Germany. My 13-year-old American godson easily deals with active whiteboards when presenting the results of one of his project and designing a PowerPoint presentation is quite natural to him.

In my previous blog post I asked whether science fiction finds one’s way into our classrooms. Well, it seems the University in Potsdam already achieved this goal.
