As a result of constant innovation, learning is no longer limited by traditional confines. We are now able to move beyond students tied to their chairs, desks, and textbooks, and beyond 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 already has seen revolutionary changes through innovative reform and the use of technology. Education Nation:
- 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
