While preparing for his presentation at the Carson Nugget, author and education innovator Milton Chen realized the podium there was not equipped with the technology to be able to see his slides at the same time he was showing them to the audience. He voiced his concern to Carson High School sophomore Stefan Murray. “Stefan downloaded an app on his iPhone, which allowed me do that,” Chen told the audience. “If you want to get something done, ask a high school student.” That exchange, he said, is at the heart of his message in “Education Nation: Six Leading Edges of Innovation in our Schools,” where students no longer learn from just the teacher but from one another as well as others in the community.
