Edutopia


Matt Mineau from Appleton Area School District (East High School) tipped us off to a great resource filled with multi-faceted gems – Edutopia. Edutopia was created by the George Lucas Educational Foundation to provide the educational community with innovation. As they say, “we spread the word about ideal, interactive learning environments and enable others to adapt these successes locally.”


Edutopia exists in three realms – www.edutopia.org, Edutopia magazine and Edutopia video.


You may see several pieces of Edutopia pop up in the future on here; today my favorite resource is the video library (
http://www.edutopia.org/video). “Through an extensive offering of documentaries, Edutopia video is a catalyst for innovation by helping educators and parents, as well as business and community leaders, see and understand pioneering best practices.”
