rodrick rajive lal's curator insight, July 5, 2014 1:46 AM

Wow, I have always enjoyed watching programs on Discovery Channel. Education becomes all the more effective when you have all the benefits of Educational Technology. This is an incredible attempt to take the classroom to the homes! Yes, you can't do without formal education, and the teacher, but then you can at least make the process even more powerful, effective and magical! An important take away for me, is that technology can transform pedagogy to a great extent. I am glad that Scott Kinney has spoken about the Common Core State Standards, and the importance of differentiation. I hope that Discovery Channel will come up with more and more interesting programs!
