Education for the Global Economy

There's some really interesting new stuff on Big Think with a number of experts giving their opinions on the American education system and the need for reform.

A lot of the opinions are connected with internet use and how well state schools are preparing their students for the demands of the 21st century.

It's all very US focused, but does have resonance around the world, so well worth a look and could be useful to get your students thinking a bit.
