Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age

Google is hosting a forum on Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age on Oct. 27-28, 2010. Didn’t get an invitation? See below for details on tweeting questions and listening to a live stream of the talks.

Forty years after the “War on Poverty” and twenty-five years after “A Nation at Risk,” a new forum has been designed to advance a new paradigm for learning by harnessing the largely untapped potential of digital media. Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age will bring together 200 of the nation’s top thought leaders in science and technology, informal and formal education, entertainment media, research, philanthropy, and policy to create and act upon a breakthrough strategy for scaling-up effective models of teaching and learning for children. The forum will showcase cutting edge research, proven and promising models to challenge decision-makers in key sectors to help “refresh and reboot” American global leadership in education.

Please get involved in the Breakthrough Learning discussion by posting your questions, reading our blog and becoming part of our Twitter community!

And if you can’t make it to the event, please be sure to watch the live broadcasts on October 27th and October 28th.
