Connecting Smart Cities
February 13, 2013 – Public Impact’s Joe Ableidinger and Bryan C. Hassel wrote this latest installment of Tom Vander Ark’s Smart Cities series, which details where innovations in learning are happening. Hassel and Ableidinger profile the Cities for Education Entrepreneurship Trust (CEE-Trust), an organization that is connecting “Smart Cities” by helping city-based organizations support the emergence of high-quality blended learning. CEE-Trust is “a network of city-based foundations, non-profits, and mayor’s offices that work together to support education innovation and reform”. The network facilitates collaboration through blended learning working groups and workshops, and by documenting effective practices and lessons learned in member cities.
