Improving Classroom Learning

In the book Curriculum 21 Essential Education for a Changing World, Bill Sheskey, a former classroom teacher, technology specialist, athletic coach and now a teacher-educator, writes, "Educators in the 21st century realize that students entering the classroom today are much different from those who have come before. Today's students are demanding a change in the classroom because of their ability to gather information faster than any other generation."

Improving Classroom Learning explores how online learning through an LMS can affect student engagement, teacher collaboration and breadth of course offerings. It becomes clear through several district stories that classroom learning can be transformed by giving students and teachers access to tools and technologies that increase interest and productivity.
