From Edutopia: The Future of Public Education
Posted by Kim Cavanaugh under Educational Vision | Tags: Educational Vision, Edutopia, Gaming |[2] Comments
One of the most thought-provoking resources that educators can visit online is the terrific web site from the George Lucas Foundation–Edutopia.
Currently Edutopia is running a special edition called: What’s Next 2008: Ten Predictions for the Future of Public Education.
You’ll find lots of articles about this topic and some information from the country’s leading experts, including a provocative video from a professor at Arizona State University who discusses the need for collaborative problem solving curriculum, and how it might be solved using an unexpected tool–video games!
Definitely worth your time!

I think this blog is a great idea… Hopefully in the(near)future all teachers can have this technology at their finger tips
(literally) I would definatly like to have my own teachers blog where other teachers can read and post comments and suggestions…. from all over the U.S. and someday maybe all over the world! It could help to facilitate different strategies and tecniques that go beyond just our local ways. Plus staying on top of the newest technology keeps us, as teachers, aware of what our students experience on a daily basis and they, the students, appreciate that. Thanks for all you do!!
