This work in the cultural literacy debate considers the new classroom technology available to students, "Brave New Schools" is a vision of schooling for the 21st century. A response to the work of Hirsch and Bloom, as well as a guide for parents and teachers, the book describes a world of students, teachers, and parents globally connected by the Internet, thereby able to communicate across geographical and cultural barriers once thought impassable. In one of the book's many case-studies, a high school student on Long Island translates an Internet message from a young man in a Croatian refugee camp describing prisoner abuse, sends the translation around the world, and sets off a wave of humanitarian aid. It also contains a section on K-12 networking resources, lists of published materials available, and descriptions of successful networking activities. Stunning in its implications for the future of learning guided by technology, Brave New Schools offers hopeful solutions to the problems of cultural difference and the future of our children.
