There were a lot of talks at last years’ TedXPhilly that should be of interest to parents and others interested in education, but the one I was most interested in seeing was Chris Lehmann’s.
Ted Hauger spoke at TedXPhilly about his experience directing the Hybrid X Team. In the talk, he spoke about standardized testing and education reform. He even wants to start a school, Green Technology High School.
Recent efforts in Philadelphia by Tune Up Philly have shown that music in schools can also be a powerful social agent in addition to an educational tool.
