The document discusses managing the digital classroom and dealing with challenges brought by new technologies and blended learning. It provides tips on engaging students through devices, creating a back channel for communication, using collaborative tools for brainstorming and writing, and making materials mobile-friendly with QR codes. New classroom models are mentioned, like self-organized learning environments advocated by Sugatam Mitra in the "Hole in the Wall" experiment.

largely the same for years, even centuries.
