How about a VIRTUAL classroom?
What do you imagine as the perfect classroom?
Me and my students were wondering ...
Is it big and full of light?
Is it in the middle of the jungle?
Are there many books in it?
Is there music in it?
What about a VIRTUAL classroom where you study in a virtual environment as if in a video game? Can we learn more from the virtual world than we actually think? Please, share some ideas and opinions ...
Waiting for your replies: Radina, Iliana and Silvia Marinova (teacher) from Sofia, Bulgaria.
Closing Statement from Silvia Marinova
Thank you all for answering our question! It's been a pleasure answering and reading all the suggestions. :) We learned a lot as well. So you guys were very helpful and gave us some great insights!
A classroom has to be most of all effective and fun for both teachers and students. :)
Have a great time and enjoy the lifetime learning.

Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research.
Learning is acquiring new, or modifying existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of information.
Using the term learning would include the virtual world as well as reality.
When I studied why the Singapore systen ruled over all others in the PISA exams it was evident that the practicums they employ was the most significant factor.
I wish you well. Bob.

Yes, I guess we mean education in the general sense here. :) Since distractions in today's world become so many (as Candy Chang points out in her presentation http://www.ted.com/talks/candy_chang_before_i_die_i_want_to.html) that I think we need to update our classrooms as well. :)
