[LM_NET] TAR: GEN: 21st century learning - need a book to inspire teachers

[Jacqueline Henry <jhenry@GANANDA.ORG>]

Some positive forces are gathering in our district right now that will
help us pursue significant instructional reform.  For decades now we
have been held back by inadequate technology and repressive ideas about
the use of technology. Finally, key personnel and influential school
planning groups have recognized the imperative to embrace 21st learning
reform.  Among several initiatives, the staff development committee is
looking to form learning communities and book study groups to plan for a
systemic change.  

If you could recommend just one professional book dealing with 21st
Century Learning, what would it be?  I am looking for something that
will be both inspirational AND practical.

Thanks in advance for your help!  I will post a hit.
