Recent Book Recommendations on Recoding (Transforming) School

I am traveling abroad in South Africa talking about Recoding Schools and was asked which books I might recommend to see more about the kinds of transformative changes that a recoded school system might implement (this is not my book list underlying my ideas on schools as a technology). This is just a short list, but a place to get started. There are also lists from other great thinkers in this space and I'd recommend their lists (and blogs) as well: Chris Lehmann, Scott McLeod
