- Rebuilding Education in New Orleans
- From
- Smart City Radio
As classrooms open again this month in cities across the country,
schools are on our minds.
Today on the show we have two revolutionaries in the field of education.
Leslie Jacobs is a native of New Orleans who is using her experience
as a business executive to reform public schools. She's the
founder of a not-for-profit called "Educate Now," and she'll join us
to talk about the work she's doing to rebuild the education system in New
Orleans and keep talent in the city.
Technology has changed the way we do almost everything...from banking
to shopping, to the ways we communicate. But the average school classroom
is not much different today than it was fifty years ago. We'll find out how
technology could revolutionize education, and what's holding it back from
author and Stanford professor Terry Moe.
