Education Recoded

EducationRecodedScreenshot
 

Blog Description: A blog written by the four directors of the UCEA Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education (CASTLE). We not only provoke a new vision of what education might be but also suggest specific changes and improvements to get us from here to there. We are engaged daily in this redesign of learning and will share the successes, failures, concepts, and creations that we find in our own practice and from others around the globe. The task of recoding our education system is both immensely daunting and exceptionally necessary.

Blog Description: When school finance topics do make the headlines, there are often many “facts” and “figures” and arguments tossed about, usually to make one point or another. Public School Spending is out of control! Administrator salaries are exorbitant! Or, that liberal judge simply made up the facts to come to his predetermined liberal conclusion!  The blog is intended to share the best version of the “facts behind the headlines” that can be pulled together in a reasonable amount of time, with sufficient citation so that you can check it out for yourself.
