Getting Schooled
"How to Spend $100 Million to Really Save Education" is filled with gems. However, as an independent school educator, I think it misses what has to happen but can't, despite millions of dollars: a plate-tectonic shift -- not about the teaching, but the learning.

This shift is what it might take to move our nation toward a creative and transformational place.

Progress Report: How Wicab's BrainPort Technology Gives Sight To The Blind Goal: Give sight to the blind
Project: Wicab's "BrainPort"
THESIS
Seeing happens in the brain, where visual information is processed. So if a person's eyes don't work, visual information can be channeled to the brain through another body part--like the tongue.
METHOD
