Looking to squeeze in a final summer read? Look no further. These excellent titles from some brilliant minds are enough to keep the conversation about 21st-century learning very much alive. Unfortunately, Vander Ark’s Getting Smart isn’t out yet (18 Oct release) but you can pre-order it; others have been out for some time and are just as relevant and thought-provoking as the year they were written. Enjoy!
