POPSGame Theory - an example of the future of the book Together with the Institute for the Future of the Book, I created this website as a way to think to about games.

POPSNewAssignment: A New Way Toward Collaborative Journalism As he explains on his Pressthink blog today, Jay Rosen has taken his biggest step yet into the world he’s been writing about for some time now. With the help of several grants he’s starting NewAssignment.net, based on this notion: “Reporter + smart mob + editor with a fund and backers get the story the press pack wouldn’t, couldn’t or didn’t.” Needless to say (because I’ve been saying it repeatedly), I’m an enthusiast. I continue to believe that the people who could pull this off best are the traditional media, and that there will soon be some amazing examples. But the media business can’t do everything, and we need to see experiments of this sort.

The report’s recommendations reflect the unprecedented collaboration of more than 200 public, private, and civic sector leaders and experts who participated in the three-day National Summit on School Design late last year, which was presented by the American Architectural Foundation and KnowledgeWorks Foundation.

POPSLearning Power: Organizing for Education and Justice In cities across the nation, low-income African American and Latino parents hope that their children’s education will bring a better life. But their schools, typically, are overcrowded, ill equipped, and shamefully under-staffed. Unless things change dramatically, more than half the students will never graduate and many will face a life of poverty-wage work. Learning Power documents a radical approach to school reform.
