White House Targets Innovative Education Technologies – ARPA-Ed?

This sounds like the ARPA-Ed idea that’s been floating around.

The White House has formed a nonprofit organization aimed at creating innovative learning technologies to transform education in the United States.

The National Center for Research in Advanced Information and Digital Technologies, aka Digital Promise, will engage exclusively in research and development (R&D) to use the most advanced technology to improve learning at all educational levels, according to the organization’s website.
