A new website Connections 2010 has now replaced the previous edugate sharepoint. @https://edugate.eduweb.vic.gov.au/sc/sites/Connections2010 It contains all previous resources and lots of new information for principals, lead users, admiistration staff, technicians and teachers. || Clayton M. Christensen and coauthors Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson take one of the most important issues of our time - education - and apply Christensen's now-famous theories of “disruptive” change using a wide range of real-life examples. Whether you're a school administrator, government official, business leader, parent, teacher, or entrepreneur, you'll discover surprising new ideas, outside-the-box strategies, and straight-A success stories.

If we hope to stay competitive - academically, economically, and technologically - we need to rethink our understanding of intelligence, reevaluate our educational system, and reinvigorate our commitment to learning. In other words, we need “disruptive innovation.”
