The LA Board of Education will be meeting later this month to discuss providing iPads to every student + teacher in the nation's 2nd largest school system.
Quite an interesting move by University of California, SF - med students will now be able to receive academic credit for editing Wikipedia articles about diseases.
A special report on the future of higher education and the role of innovation - lots of interesting and relevant topics here, including rethinking assessment standards, flipping classrooms, and reinventing the academic calendar.
