Dear Alan,
The seed questionsindeed the panel and the whole
projectare very exciting, and I'm looking forward
to the conference. Since you've invited response to
the seed
questions, here's mine: a small worry that the emphasis
on the visual scene and on the classROOM / classSPACE
may result in undervaluing, especially for the humanities,
the inward ear and classTIME (and narrative and memory
and learning that is more recursive and writing-based
than iconic). How about "Classtime of the Future," too?
