I read this yesterday and was sort of blown away by the idea. Given the drama I've watched here in our school district over buying iPads for students I can't imagine seeing something so bold. I do think it is a great idea.

Article about how Bhutan is struggling to reconcile Buddhist principles with the modern more secular West within the education system.

Really interesting article. I've become fascinated with the inherent tension between local & global communities as the transmission of culture happens faster & in more abundance. It's become part of my dissertation. It also fits in well with Michael Elavsky's work and summer camp.

I have long been intrigued by Bhutan's gross national happiness concept. This article really gets at the heart of wondering what should be in the curriculum and what the goals of education really should be. Thanks so much for sharing.
