This book is causing a bit of stir. It looks at the research on development in education and the use of technology to enable engaged learning and then explores practice around the world, including Sweden, Korea, Australia, Singapore and others. It is an edited collection and contains some good critical material, including a chapter by Andy Hargreaves on two ideas "gone bad" - autonomy and transparency and one by Gert Biesta (probably the leading philosopher of education at this time) on the need to reclaim the profession of teaching. While the focus is on schools (K-12), the ideas and analysis are relevant to all levels of education. The book is thoughtful, challenging, inspiring and informative.
