Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know (in case you weren't already aware) that this week is the Education Nation Summit in NYC. A lot of video clips and newspots have been featured on the Today show and Nightly News with Brian Williams on NBC this week. This summit involves educators, parents, and leaders in politics, business, and technology in a conversation about the state of our education system. A series of interesting video clips can be found on the Education Nation website.
One I found particularly interesting and relevant to our class was Khan Academy sparks education reform debate. It highlights an online tutorial program for students as well as an active, learning-by-doing applied program in a physics classroom. There was also a cool experiential learning program for high schoolers interested in the environment featured in the Making a Difference spot on Nightly News Monday night.
See you Wednesday!
