Now You See It<br />
How Brain Science Can Transform Schools and<br />
Businesses for the 21st Century<br />
Cathy N. Davidson<br />
A brilliant combination of science and its real-world application,<br />
Now You See It sheds light on one of the greatest problems of our<br />
historical moment: our schools and offices are designed for the<br />
last century, not for a world in which technology has reshaped<br />
the way we think and learn. In this informed and optimistic work,<br />
Cathy N. Davidson takes us on a tour of the future of work and<br />
education, introducing us to visionaries whose groundbreaking<br />
ideas will soon affect every arena of our lives, from schools with<br />
curriculums built around video games to workplaces that use<br />
virtual environments to train employees.<br />
n Cathy N. Davidson and Duke University made the news back in<br />
2003 when the school gave iPods to every member of the incoming<br />
freshman class<br />
