What will emerging trends in technology mean for the way in which we teach and learn in the future? How will developments affect the classroom dynamic, and the manner in which we teach and learn?

Each month, the Future Classroom Lab will feature an interview with an expert from an area of the field of education. The series will contribute to the wider debate on innovation in education, and the deployment of technology across schools: technologists, pedagogical experts, academics and thinkers will explore issues surrounding the mainstreaming of innovative practices in teaching and learning.

In the first interview, Lord Puttnam, Chancellor of the Open University, former Chair of the General Teaching Council for England, and award-winning film producer, gives his views on how emerging trends in technology will affect education, and what he envisions as the classroom of the future.
