Today, I’m happy to announce that my friend and colleague Bruce Dixon and I are starting a new membership website, Educating Modern Learners (EML). It’s a site and an accompanying newsletter that’s...
We believe that top level decision makers often act without a relevant, global, modern lens for how technologies can best serve progressive teaching and learning.
This is through no fault of their own as much as it is the consequence of leading at a moment of rapid and radical change.
We believe there is a real need for a diverse set of expert voices to use a global lens to intelligently curate and contextualize the changes, new technologies, future trends, best practices and more on a regular basis.We believe this is a time of unprecedented opportunity.
A time for boldness, and a time for well-informed leadership to shape new thinking around what schools could and should be; about where, when, and how learning takes place.
A time for us to truly rethink the possibilities that technology offers education, and a time for creative and courageous leadership to show the way.

And how do we define an “education” when we can now learn so much on our own without the requirements of a traditional classroom or curriculum? New questions require new answers.It’s no longer good enough to improve school, to make it “better.” Instead, this moment requires that we think about education and schooling fundamentally differently to prepare students for a future that few of us could have imagined a few short years ago.

What counts is that we build real trust with others so that the uncomfortable conversations can happen naturally.
Building trust is hard work, but without trust, we never get down to talking about what really matters.
===> And talking about what really matters is what will help our students. <===
