About EdBizWatch
What is EdBizWatch?
At EdBizWatch we aggregate the top articles in ed tech, covering investments, news, op-eds, and who's who. We ask who's placing bets, where, and why.
Clayton Christensen, in his book, Disrupting Class, described how disruptive innovation would change American education "in a breath-taking flip." Schools will go from being classroom-centric to student-centric.
"It turns out there is a way to forecast the flip," says Christensen. It will start in 2012 and be completed by 2019. The flip is underway, and we're watching. Pass the popcorn, please.
