Excellent article online today about Disruptive Innovation This article is available online courtesy of EdWeek.org. Clayton M. Christensen, Michael B. Horn, and Curtis W. Johnson are the authors of Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns (McGraw-Hill, June 2008). The book applies the theories of disruptive innovation pioneered by Mr. Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor, to the education sector.
Very interesting discussion on the implementation of technology to create individualized lessons for students. Highlights the need for technology integration in schools at all levels to serve students on their level. Two sites several of those that replied refer to are Hey Math used by 2/3 of the math students in Singapore and many U.S. schools and HeadSprout a phonics based program for reading instruction also mentioned.
