Education Nation: Six Leading Edges of Innovation in our Schools

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.

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.

* Examines way in which learning can be revolutionized through innovative reform and the use of technology
* Explores the ever-expanding world of technology for breakthroughs in teaching and learning
* Includes many wonderful resources to support innovation in schools across the nation
