Description: "Learning Reimagined takes its readers on a journey in search of innovation in the way we learn and teach. Filled with case studies and interviews, the book invites the reader to join the author as he travels the world to investigate the challenges that today's educators face. Illustrated throughout with outstanding colour photography by leading photojournalist Newsha Tavakolian, the book is unafraid to ask the most vital questions about the purpose of education and the true role of technology in its transformation. It captures a broad canvas of opinions from many of the world's foremost thinkers and practitioners from the world of education, technology and design, including Sir Ken Robinson, Noam Chomsky, Seth Godin, Sugata Mitra, Andreas Schleicher and many others."--Publisher's website.
