About the Lecture Video, shown above:

Although she is committed to boosting interactive digital technology for learning, Diana Rhoten’s talk is framed by movies. Waiting for Superman is the starting point: a good demonstration of how schools are failing our children, but very unimaginative, Rhoten says, when it comes to solutions. In fact, one of the assumptions on which Rhoten has built Startl is that the future of education is about learning, not about schooling. The companion assumption is that technology has a critical role to play, not as an end but as a means. Her stance is buttressed by hard data: in New York City, 50% of teens drop out before completing high school, but 97% of them go online, and more than half have mobile devices.

Take Off is now In New York City and our Learning Project is specifically designed to enable mobile computing as learning devices
