'Skunk works' project on Michigan schools draws coverage and controversy -- click on to more coverage through this post

A state group developing a new plan for a low-cost school model for Michigan -- now commonly known as "project skunk works," has drawn plenty of media coverage and controversy over the past week.

According to MLive, Gov. Rick Snyder, speaking last night during a virtual town meeting, said that public uproar over the secretive project overshadows the fact that he thinks the group may be on to something big. One of the group's main focuses involves getting more technology into the classroom.
