Learning Continues with 'Summer of Making and Connecting'

America's education reform movement gets out of school this summer with a four-month campaign to help redefine learning in the digital age through dozens of activities for youth, parents, and educators, dubbed the "Summer of Making and Connecting."<http://www.makesummer.org/>

The campaign was announced today as U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan joined leaders from across the country to discuss innovation in education at the "Re-Imagining Education: Empowering Learners in a Connected World" summit. The summit<http://reimaginingeducation.org/>, co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Education and MacArthur, brings together leaders from across the education sector to explore ways to develop learning experiences that better connect in-school and out-of-school time; better connect students to their passions, peers, communities and careers; and redesign our nation's high schools to prepare our students for a connected world of learning.

View more details and the full agenda<http://reimaginingeducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ReimaginingEducation_Final_Agenda.pdf> for the two-day event.

The event will be broadcast live on C-SPAN 3<http://www.c-span.org/Live-Video/C-SPAN3/> from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET. You can also join the conversation and participate in a Q&A on Twitter by using the hashtag #ReimagineEd<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23reimagineed>.
