Publisher Description: An educational innovator who worked at Sesame Workshop and The George Lucas Educational Foundation offers a new vision for learning As a result of constant innovation, learning is no longer limited by traditional confines and we're moving beyond students tied to their chairs, desks, and textbooks-and teachers locked away in classrooms. In Education Nation author Milton Chen draws from extensive experience in media-from his work on Sesame Street in its nascent years to his role as executive director of the George Lucas Educational Foundation-to support a vision for a new world of learning. This book, in six chapters, explores the edges in education--the places where K-12 learning has already seen revolutionary changes through innovative reform and the use of technology.
This important book offers a clear vision for tomorrow's classrooms that will enhance learning opportunities for all children. |
