Edutopia gets my vote for the best education website ever. The George Lucas Education Foundation (GLEF) created a resource for educators, administrators, policy-makers and curious observers alike. GLEF publishes the stories of innovative teaching and learning through a variety of media -- a magazine, an e-newsletter, CD-ROMs, DVDs, books, and the Edutopia website (www.edutopia.org). The website contains detailed articles, in-depth case studies, research summaries, instructional modules, short documentary segments, expert interviews, and links to hundreds of relevant resources. Visitors can also participate as members of an online community of people actively working to reinvent schools for the twenty-first century.

What does learning in the 21st century classroom look like? What will it take for this generation's students to succeed in a 21st century workplace? These difficult questions provided an impetus for a group of committed business leaders, educators and policymakers to create the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (www.21stcenturyskills.org). This partnership has emerged as the leading advocacy organization focused on infusing 21st century skills into education.
