De aulas visibles e invisibles y hasta inteligentes

In a world where more than a fifth of the population has internet connectivity and that amount is increasing constantly in giant steps, classrooms cannot keep being just the same. More and more schools and universities are giving virtual learning environments to their students. In the specific case of teaching Chemistry, this has become a challenge given the experimental nature of this science; however, it is possible to build an intelligent classroom-laboratory by making some changes to a conventional classroom. In this work we present five examples in which schools are making efforts to change the traditional model based only in the teacher-student relationship to one in which the classroom plays a fundamental role. Some important aspects of the relevance of visible classrooms are also included.
