Wow! I just watched the video of George Lucas and the discussion about his Educational Foundation. I am impressed by his passion for facilitating learning that is interactive and engaging for students. He talks on how to integrate technology into school so it will assist in the positive learning of the students.
The idea of providing an environment that supports and encourages learning in a way that has relevant outcomes for the 'world' is fascinating - if not a little overwhelming. I agree that in some circumstances we can encourage and provide opportunities for students to engage in projects and activities that have real life application. If we can achieve this surely there would be positive learning happening.
George Lucas has set up a free website that gives information about various technologies we can use in the schools as well as many other relevant educational tools. It is called edutopia. Please take the time to have a look and see if you can find any other relevant information.
