To many of these folks, Bob's wired classrooms seem threatening. Institutions like the Boston Children's Museum (which she helped lead in the 1970s) drew heavily from and worked in partnership with the "open classroom" movement to develop informal educational models that are interactive, open-ended, and individualized. The wired classroom is not a free-for-all nor an entirely screen-based experience. Do you talk to people sitting next to you on planes? I don't.
