Teaching: The Next Generation |
In conversations about the use of technology in schools, what you'll often hear is: Once we have a cadre of young teachers and administrators who've grown up with technology, computer use in schools will take off. This program examines that premise by following a young teacher, Brian Mason (7th grade American History) as he begins his second year in the classroom. The program also explores Mr. Mason's approach to teaching by testing his theories about "what works" against the opinions of education experts. Producer Richard Paul brings us "Teaching: The Next Generation." This program is part of our ongoing series on education and technology and is funded in part by the United States Department of Education.
Teaching: The Next Generation was produced by Richard Paul. Special thanks to Linda Burke, the principal of Lake Braddock Secondary School and Sylvia Auton, director of the Office of Staff Development and Training for Fairfax County, Virginia Public Schools. This program is part of our ongoing series on education and technology and is funded in part by the United States Department of Education.
