Tecchy, tecchy, tecchy! Part 1
listening to: Happy Tree Friends Main Theme
wishes for: Flaky = Evil

Okay, so we're supposed to cook up a future type of intructional systems technology classroom and put it in a blogger account. Since I already have oodles of blogs at blogger one, i thought i'd put it up here. ^^ Oh, and this is gonna be a five-parter, 'cause it's kinda required to have five posts. ^^

Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyways, onward, ho! *cracks whip and hits Kanoe in the eye*

Under the influence of too much Happy Tree Friends, X/1999 fandom and donut cravings, Joanna Sioson Rika presents to you... *drumroll cue*

the classroom

Lame-o Title, yes, but hey, doesn't it scream "poke me and be curious"? ^o^

I shall now tell you of my vison.. A vision of a futuristic hellhole classroom. We all know what The Beast, is, right? Okay, for those who DON'T know, the Beast is this supercomputer that interacts with the user who is connected to the computer Matrix-style. Okay, so my ideal classroom is based on the concept of The Beast. No, no, no.. Don't be scared. It won't have diverse effects on the mind and would make you go out with a 28++ year old blonde who works for the civil registry. And it won't certainly make you go loony and side with the Dragons of Earth, crazy nuts. I said it was only BASED on the CONCEPT of The Beast, not the whole being of The Beast. Sheesh. Anyway, moving on. The physical classroom IS the computer, and the students will just have to sit down on their chairs and hook themselves up onto the main computer/classroom system through these visors/visual goggles found above their chairs. Then voila! They're virtually connected to the computer/classroom system. Lessons would be explained easier since the virtual reality of the classroom system is able to create the effect that the real material is there, thus allowing full interaction between the student and the material. Whatever 'material' it was. [note: Oooh, wouldn't this be fun if Ragnarok Online, or any other MMORPG for that matter, would be implemented with this technology?!?! ^o^] Moving on, does any of you remember that "Ask Dr. Whoever-He-Was" in the movie AI? That old virtual man who reminded me of The Colonel from KFC.. ^^; yeah. Lessons would be like that: the important keywords and important facts will float out as virtual words/whatever you want to call them, so that the student would understand. Also, this prevents the student from doing anything not related to the class since the overall control is with the teacher.

Part Two: Drawbacks.
