Educasting: Education for Innovation

Hosted by: Mark Sommer, internationally syndicated radio host and executive director of A World of Possibilities and Connexus.

Educasting is a leading-edge response to the digitization of education and the need to extend education into real-world problem solving. It uses a multi-mix of audio, video and print materials as long-term educational resources via the web. Each module is accompanied by an interactive study guide as curriculum support that teaches skills essential to effective innovation. Adaptable for many contexts beyond the classroom, Educasting enables users to apply ingenuity to solve problems through collaborative projects in the real world.

With: Robin Pagliuco, Educasting director, Connexus; Kim Bonine, training director for the Conservation Strategy Fund; and Kristin Smith, Connexus Educasting curriculum developer.
