Will we still need classrooms by 2020? This is a difficult question to answer, because school and education, although not synonymous, are deeply ingrained in our culture and have become a key component of our social, political and economic thinking. The design and configuration of classrooms was a particular concern for several people.

What will be the future of school classrooms? It is unlikely that we will see the demise of the classroom in the next decade.

I've written before about the idea of the classroom without walls. Today, with the sun shining down on the UK's warmest March in recorded history, my students and I sat in a classroom without walls - literally. I know this is not what I normally mean when I talk about classrooms without walls. But today was the real deal.

Even now, as a classroom practitioner myself, I sometimes joke - 'close the door so people outside won't hear the screaming.' The connotation of closed door classrooms is that no-one sees or hears what goes on except the teachers and the students, who are all locked in, until the bell sounds. It is happening in some schools.

Adrian Prandle, education policy advisor at the teaching union ATL gets it right when he says: 'Developments such as podcast learning should be in addition to time with lecturers, not instead of it.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the personalisation of education. The sticking point is that most education is publicly funded, the state has a major stake in how it's conducted, and therefore dictates what should be taught in schools. This is universal education, and if one size does not fit all.

Photo from RosanBosch website I like the idea of schools without classrooms. Classrooms tend to restrict and contain, and they are a remnant of the Industrial Age. I have visited a few schools that have attempted to create spaces without classrooms, and have seen partial implementation of the idea, resulting in some success.
