Chris Lehmann is the founding principal of the Science Leadership Academy. He spoke last week at Ignite Philly, an evening event at which speakers get 5 minutes to talk about 20 slides, which automatically rotate after 15 seconds (the Pecha Kucha school of presentation.) He speaks fast but makes a lot of sense. Innovation in education needs to be both broadly addressed and carefully focused. Technology in education needs to be a transformative tool, not merely additive. As for the answer to the question posed above? Watch the video below for Lehmann’s answer:
I'm SO happy to see this presentation being shared. All of the presentations at Ignite were fantastic, this was one of my favorites, very much hitting home for me.
...proud to say I've learned from the best. Awesome presentation! Inquiry, research, student-centered classrooms - the most effective and exciting way to teach and learn. Great job!
Thanks for the comments! Alex -- what else at Ignite caught your eye? Smartly, they've posted all the presentations, but I haven't had a chance to go through all of them yet. Let me know if any others are must-views...
Achieve your goal in college life
It is not only convenient to get anything from a math degree to a psychology degree online, but it can also be less costly than traditional college or universities, too. Often, since online schools do not have a physical campus, they do not need to charge as much for attendance. Things like housing, campus building upkeep and cafeteria facilities are not typically offered, and so the cost of attendance is just tuition and books. In addition, most online education programs offer some form of financial aid. And the cost of online degrees earned from an accredited institution can often be offset with federal financial aid as well…………..
