In case you haven’t heard…

I’ll be in New York City on August 2nd and 3rd at the #140Edu Conference – exploring the state of education NOW. Thanks to Jeff Pulver, it’s an incredible chance to come together with educators, parents, social media mavens and the like to spend two days exploring the changing nature of education… what the promise and possibilities are right now to change the way we think about learning.
