EDUTPIA article (C)

The article I found was by EDUT PIA the George Lucas Educational Foundations magazine. The article talks about a $13 million, new Charter school in the Los Angeles suburbs in California. The school teaching is project based and uses lots of new technology. The schools design is made to look like the environments in which people will be working in. The school uses mostly wireless technology and a technology based program.
Even though the article talked mostly about the design of the school I believe that is including technology. They are using the technology of what the modern day work place is like and trying to incorporate it into this new school. They are using the same technology that they will be using when they get jobs in the work force. The fact that they can use a lot of wireless technology in the school greatly cuts down the use of wires and thus fires and other hazards.
