The Clickable Search Engine Marketing Blog

Our education system, especially in urban areas, is broken. To gain insight into challenges and solutions for transforming it, Juliette LaMontagne, TED Fellow and professor at Columbia University, led a discussion at our most recent Interesting Café. Interesting Café is Clickable's monthly culture event to expand our thinking and connect with our community.

An innovator in project-based and technology-enhanced learning, Juliette shared highlights of her lifelong commitment to serving and transforming education. Inspired by a violent sexual attack she witnessed and halted, Juliette founded VOW Arts at the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, a program dedicated to engaging adolescent girls in activism through the arts. She then researched project-based learning at Teachers College, Columbia University, and took a faculty position there in the Secondary English Education Program. She consults for the Student Press Initiative, an urban literacy program and is a leadership coach with The Asia Society's International Studies School Network.

Below is a short video interview with Juliette, following her group discussion. Let us know what you think.

From a fellow TEDster, bravo, Julie.  I found this video to be very inciteful and thought-provoking.  It was a resource I will refer to as I explore how project-based learning and technology can be optimized in the classroom of today and tomorrow.
