You can also view the NBC video. on the making of this episode. I encourage all of you watch our segment, which showcases a 7th grade teacher, Beth, in North Carolina. Beth’s work with her students (and as a very successful pioneering teacher with this technology) is utterly inspiring. I just wish her teaching partner Kelly could have been with us the day the show was filmed. Their support of each other, their collegiality, is also inspiring. By the way – just in case you wondered who I am – my name is Glenna Musante. I’m working with OPEN in corporate communications, community relations and PR. In this capacity, I help in the effort to bring QA to new schools and new school systems. I also look for corporate funding to help pay for the expansion of QA in schools and school systems, and I work with reporters on stories about QA. My work often takes me into school districts that are pioneering this impressive new form of educational content delivery, such as the Durham Public School system. Here. I have had the moving opportunity to meet teachers at the forefront of a new era in education.

I am so impressed by their dedication, enthusiasm and willingness to explore this new territory – and also help their colleagues learn how to use QA to reach our children. With their help, we’re seeing great strides with QA. Students who had given up on school are catching up to grade level; teachers are finding new excitement in their work. “Designing Spaces, Back to School special” begins to tell this story. So I encourage you to tune in this weekend to get a sense of what we’re seeing in the field. It’s a new world, and a great one.
