In May 2006, as part of a Futurelab call for ideas, a group of year 10s and I shared some ideas for integrating technology into a new environment to create new leanring experiences. These are our chosen ideas! It was all a bit of a rush, here is our application: Futurelab – CoNectar Garden Idea.
The links below are just some of the many ideas which have been spinning around in our heads and contributed to our application:
- Futurelab Innovations Report – Future Phones
- Learning Through Landscapes
- Heppel.net – Learning Places & Spaces
- Envirocom – Wireless Masts Disguised as Trees!
- Nice to hide in a hedge – Philips Mirror LCD Screen
- If you’re going to put a plasma screen outside!
- The first Internet bench!
- PS Spot – broadcasting by wifi to portable games console
We’d love to hear some of your comments and suggestions.

Sad news! I’ve just had a wonderfully polite email from Futurelab saying that we haven’t been selected for the next round of the bod process
Don’t worry though – we’ll try again next time! One day one of our wacky ideas will catch someone else’s imagination! Hopefully someone with lots of money!
