Introduction: The Vision of an Education Nation -- The Thinking Edge: Getting Smarter About Learning -- The Curriculum Edge: Real Learning and Authentic Assessment -- The Technology Edge: PuttingModern Tools in Young Hands -- The Time/Place Edge: Learning Any Time, Anywhere -- The Co-Teaching Edge: Teachers, Experts, and Parents as Coeducators -- The Youth Edge: Digital Learners Carrying Change in Their Pockets -- Afterword: Tomorrow's Edge, a 2020 Vision. "In Education Nation author Milton Chen draws from extensive experience in media--from his work on Sesame Street in its nascent years to his current role as executive director of the George Lucas Educational Foundation--to support his vision for a new world of learning. Presented in five parts and divided into "module" chapters, this book examines the ways in which K-12 learning can be revolutionized through innovative reform and the use of technology. Due in large part to new technologies, over the last few decades we've witnessed a huge shift in how we imagine teaching and learning. |
