The all-day event will begin with a keynote address by Edutopia’s Milton Chen, followed by discussion groups lead by representatives from the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and our own KQED QUEST production staff.

Interesting. I may check this out, though it sounds more media-focused than anything else. It's a shame, too... that they spelled "Educational" wrong in the title. Hope they change it soon. Shucks, it's one of those things where you need to be critical if you want to be taken seriously, you know? How can people take an education-focused event seriously when you spell "educational" wrong? Tsk tsk tsk.

Hi,

I am fascinated by what you are doing research in and putting the Cognitive Science classes we took into good use.. it's true that our current school system not only needs improvement in the curriculum but also in the environment.
