Digital Schools: How Technology Can
Transform Education |

| Nearly a century ago, famed educator John Dewey said, "If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow." This wisdom resonates more strongly than ever today, and that maxim underlies this insightful look at the present and future of education in the digital age. In this webinar, Darrell West will discuss key findings from his book, Digital Schools: How Technology Can Transform Education, which examines new models of education made possible by enhanced information technology, and how new approaches will make public education in the post-industrial age more relevant, efficient, and ultimately more productive. West will explain how today’s educational institutions must reinvent themselves to engage students successfully and provide them with the skills needed to compete in an increasingly global, technological, and online world. West will share the potential contributions of blogs, wikis, social media, and video games and augmented reality in K–12 and higher education. |
