This public media "authentic fiction" sought to crowdsource perspectives about education today. The Zed Omega teens, played by actors, "dropped out loud" from high school -- catalyzing open discussion about the structures and purpose of traditional education and its alternatives. The arc of each Zed Omega character was unscripted: they responded to ideas that people presented. The collaborative thought experiment and "interactive documentary" was live on social media during fall semester 2012. (-Learn more-) (-Credits-) (-Facebook-) (-Twitter-)

Christine asks:
“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob children of tomorrow.” - John Dewey. I like this quote because it pushes innovations in teaching/learning practices. What are some of the ways teachers AND students can work to make sure learning is relevant for tomorrow and how can we empower them to do so?
