The Learning Revolution
Weekly Update

December 18th, 2014


Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
- Roger Lewin

The Learning Revolution Project holds online and physical learning events, and highlights professional development opportunities from a network of 200 partners in the learning professions. The great majority of these events are free to attend. We also highlight good conversations about learning taking place between educators, learners, leaders, and others from the school, library, museum, work, adult, online, non-traditional and home learning worlds.
