"Solutions in Action," a free online series of videos produced by NBC Learn and hosted by NBC News' Chief Education Correspondent, Rehema Ellis, is a great way for educators to learn more about innovative and successful uses of technology in education. Launched by NBC Learn and Blackboard Inc., Ellis talks to leaders in the field who are tapping into technology to create better experiences in the classroom.
The first three videos feature Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, President of the University of Maryland in Baltimore County, who discusses changing attitudes about math and science through technology; Julie Young (right), President and CEO of Florida Virtual School, who explains how technology can close the gap between how students live and learn; and Marc Ecko, founder of Sweat Equity Education, offering his ideas about building a better educational experience through applied learning. The videos are available on Blackboard Inc.'s and NBC Learn's websites.
"As a journalist covering education, it's exciting to be able to dig deeper into the subject of technology and how innovation can help improve students' academic achievement," said Rehema Ellis
NBC Learn, the educational branch of NBC News, is committed to providing resources for teachers and students. Blackboard Inc. works with clients to develop and implement technology to improve education.
