The Official Podcast Channel of Cable in the Classroom!

The Spring 2007 issue of Cable in the Classroom's Threshold: Exploring the Future of Education features articles focused on taking educational innovation to scale, produced in partnership with the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future (NCTAF).

In this podcast [MP3, 39MB], Christopher Dede (Timothy E. Wirth Professor of Learning Technologies at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education) with the assistance of Threshold's Ellen Ullman moderates a panel that explores the current state of 'scalability,' educational change, and how to get where we need to be - a topic of critical importance to the government, grantmakers, and all those seeking to spread successful educational practices to other classrooms, school, districts, and states. Panel participants include:

• Kathleen Fulton, Director for Reinventing Schools, NCTAF;
• L. McLean King, Superintendent of the Encinitas (Calif.) Union School District (and a Cable in the Classroom National Education Advisory Board member);
• Trish Millines Dziko, Executive Director, Technology Access Foundation; and
• Josh Zoia, Principal, KIPP Academy Lynn (Massachusetts).

An edited transcript of this conversation appears as one of several excellent articles on this same topic.

The full text of Threshold editions is available free online at www.ciconline.org/threshold. Past issues explore topics such as the future of math and science education, high school reform and 21st century skills, emergency preparedness, and much more.
