Future of Learning Top Reads for week of November 13 2017

Bell Curve.png

This special edition of The Future of Learning Top Reads is better titled "Top Views," because I am sharing videos from the 180° Project by Wonder by Design.

The premise of 180° is that by telling a learning innovation story every two weeks for five years, we can build a critical mass of proof to change education at the systems level.

What story of innovative learning will your school contribute?
