Description
This is a book about innovation, and the politics that stand in the way.  It draws a compelling picture of what education could be if we took advantage of technology’s full potential – a vision where learning happens across time zones, teachers are entrepreneurs, curriculum can be customized, discovery is commonplace, and the world IS the classroom.  The authors take on sacred cows such as unions, district bureaucracy, and class size -- and show what it will really take to liberate learning from the structures and political forces that block fundamental improvement in our schools.
