For this post, a School of the Future story from Philadelphia. It seems like a lot of emphasis on technology for "learning", and the technology is mentioned more than learning. Emphasis on notebook computers and smart boards but little emphasis on teaching. Here is a more up-to-date story about the school. Again, very little about teaching, curriculum, educating, but more on technology.
Well, Marshall McLuhan said it best: "the medium is the message/massage". Is that really the "message" we want?

It is a pity that so much emphasis is on technology and so little on inter-personal relational learning. Perhaps an addition to the curriculum would help, such as this one for example. Facilitating Interpersonal Relationships in the Classroom: The Relational Literacy Curriculum

Perhaps the school of the future would better prepare their students using a methodology for all classes, such as Relational Learning.

Another example is from Australia, Applied Relational Learning - Tell Someone Who Cares.

I do not know how the "educators" are incorporating "learning" techniques at this school, but here us an interesting blog leading up to creating and opening the school, School of the Future WebLog. I liked his paragraph about "Hope Matters".
