"Education used to be about transfer of information from teacher to student.
Now there is too much information available in the world. Much of this information is being used by people trying to sell us something: an idea, a product, a political agenda, a way of seeing our entire country.
New Hampton School's Junior Urban Adventure attempts to turn around this notion of one-way
education in the same way that Web 2.0 is changing the way we think about the web.
Students will learn to ask questions, make meaning from the glut of information available to them and engage, upload and maybe even start to solve some of the world's problems."
