Summary

"I strongly believe that education is the single most important job of the human race. I'm very excited that Education Nation is adding to the tools we are giving educators and many others to make change in their own communities." —From the Foreword by George Lucas, founder and chairman, The George Lucas Educational Foundation

"This book provides an outstanding overview of where we stand in the history of learning technologies, what current initiatives are most promising, and what challenges and opportunities we face in the near future."—Christopher Dede, Timothy E. Wirth Professor in Learning Technologies, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"How fortunate we are that Milton Chen has decided to share the lessons he has learned along the way on his incredible learning journey. As we just begin to unlock the methods of teaching our kids in a 21st Century context, this book should be embraced by every caring educator and parent who wants to do right by our kids."—Gary E. Knell, president and CEO, Sesame Workshop

"Milton Chen is a visionary and global leader in education. Emphasizing creativity, technology-enabled learning, project-based intellectual adventures, and social/emotional intelligences, Education Nation encompasses the well-being of the whole child and the major shift to student-centered learning. Chen is a masterful storyteller and collaborator. His ideals continue to inspire and push our own boundaries to do what is right to help kids—and to never give up."—Susan Patrick, President and CEO, International Association for K–12 Online Learning (iNACOL)

"Milton Chen has had an extraordinary perch for learning how media and technology can spark innovation and redefine teaching and learning. Education Nation provides a new vision of what is now possible, with vivid examples from real schools." —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor at Stanford University and co-director of the School Redesign Network
