Things go better with Coke!

June 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Twas an incredible first day in Atlanta. After rising late (we were all exhausted from the ordeal of the day before) we strolled two blocks to mid-town, the over to Centennial Olympic Park and the “World of Coke”. In this city that is headquarters to the most popular soft drink in the world, Coca Cola rules!

We enjoyed a tour through an actual production facility and historical displays of all kinds, but the highlight was definately the 4-D theatre presentation, complete with 3-D glasses, moving seats, wind and water! What a ride…

The sign identifies a robot that is used in the processing facility. When I saw it I began to wonder…how many of our classrooms are like this machine…repetitively sanitize the container, fill with product and cap, and try not to shake too much before opening at test time. I fear that far too many match this analogy.

What will it take to move our schools toward a more individual approach, where students themselves decide what product they want to hold and how they want to be filled. What role canm technology play in this change?

NECC is underway…more later.
