PLAYBACK: Preparing Students for Learning in the Digital Age

State of the Union, a Teacher’s POV: Antero Garcia, an English teacher at Manual Arts High School in South Central Los Angeles, a high poverty school with a dropout rate of more than 60 percent, wrote a thoughtful response to the State of the Union speech, focusing on using digital media to connect with students. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan posted it on the Huffington Post.
