At this moment, I’m sitting in my hotel room in Silver Spring, Maryland, and continuing to think #beyondthetextbook. I will likely continue to grow this particular blog entry as the next two days progress at the Discovery Communications Headquarters, just a couple of blocks away.

But right now, I thought I would post some links to blog entries I’ve written over the past few years on the subject of “what’s on the other side of the textbook.”
Also, the other day, I asked readers to come up with a simile for the other side of textbooks, “It will be like a…” Here are a few that plucked my imagination.
The TB of the future will be like a..
- like a quest
- like a production studio
- like an extension of our brains
- like a reality game
- like a video playlist
- like swiss army knife
- like a personal assistant
- like a platform that provokes conversation
- like a holodeck
- like a choose your own adventure story
- like a Palantir
- map for a learning journey
- like an interaction engine
- like a Matrix up-link
- like an aggregator that searches and updates content
- more like a word problem than a calculation problem
More to come!
