Moving beyond a basic examination of using technology for classroom instruction, \u003ci\u003eBuilding School 2.0: How to Create the Schools We Need\u003c\/i\u003e is a larger discussion of how education, learning, and our physical school spaces can—and should—change because of the changing nature of our lives brought on by these technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWell known for their work in creating Science Leadership Academy (SLA), a technology-rich, collaborative, learner-centric school in Philadelphia, founding principal Chris Lehmann and former SLA teacher Zac Chase are uniquely qualified to write about changing how we educate.
