Event Details: Unfortunately, not all classrooms are created equally and today's classrooms continue to look exactly like they did decades ago. Although some schools have implemented BYOD programs where students have access to netbooks or tablets, the students in those classrooms are using the tablets to complete worksheets, and they are not necessarily having conversations around learning.
Today's classrooms should look and feel different. They should have more flexible spaces where students can engage in collaboration with peers, and they should be curating content more than they are consuming it.
Besides classrooms and learning, tomorrow's classrooms today is about a mindset and framework of understanding, and we need to make sure that we are not just talking about it on Twitter or Facebook, but we actually need to be doing something about it.
​
So more than anything right now, Tomorrow's classrooms today is a call to action for stakeholders to stay current with school happenings through social media and on their mobile devices. It's a message to disconnected educators to take advantage of all the ideas and resources that connected educators are able to utilize on a daily basis. Tomorrow's classrooms today is a mindset that focuses on best practice teaching techniques that are enhanced by the integration of devices, web applications, and risk-taking. 
Where Can Educators Learn About Tomorrow's Classrooms Today?
Tomorrow's Classrooms Today is a conference taking place at Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ on Friday May 18 and Saturday, May 19. This two day educational event will feature over forty innovative presenters from all over the country, a keynote address by world renowned educators Salome Thomas-EL and Eric Sheninger, a live-feed room, and five minute ignite sessions.

There is nothing better than being in the same space with like-minded educators who can help stretch our own thinking. Educators who are currently using these innovative practices in their classrooms...and here's the thing....they don't even think they're innovative. It's who they are and how they think.
​
Tomorrow's classrooms today is all about educators committing to changing learning environments that meet students where they are and arming them with an arsenal of skills that will give them a fighting chance to be successful well into the future.
There are several key characteristics that make up tomorrow's classrooms today...
