FYI: Disrupting Class is a new book by Clayton Christensen

Clayton Christensen is best known for his disruptive innovation theory. The theory postulates that an innovation (such as the personal computer) arrives that changes the way the entire field is organized. For instance, we have seen this with technologies such as the cell phone, email, and instant messaging, etc. Mr. Christensen and his colleagues discuss the education system and how technology is the catalyst for change. Computer-based learning is leading us to student-centric teaching and learning and leading the revolution that is changing the way we teach and learn.

Technology coordinators, chief information officers, school principals and superintendents, teachers, parents, and all who have an interest in assuring that our education system be the best it can be for all students should read this book.
