Change in Education

 * Shifting Ground (Chris Lehmann, Dec. 2009)**. This article by Chris Lehmann talks about changing education, empowering students, real world learning, and transforming our schools.

"The ground is shifting under everyone's feet as schools hustle to catch up to the changes in society. Schools and and must be transformative - when they encourage kids to harness the new tools at their disposal to create real work of meaning, students can be authentic voices in the world. It is time to stop thinking of school as prepartation for real life and instead show students that the time they spend in school can be a vital and enriching part of their very real and very important lives."
