40 years of building edtech that matters, and thinking about education governance and accountability...and politics, architecture, & transportation.

Kind words, but even without them, excited to work with David!
I am excited to join the @NoodleEducation team, and, in particular, to work with #EdTech pioneer @johnkatzman. Noodle is truly a unique offering in the OPM space - more transparent, more flexible, more collaborative - and a perfect fit for my passion for innovation in #highered.

Good report. It's hard to measure K12 Edtech's cost or impact–just like the rest of K12. If we take an approach to data that is less about accountability and more about research, we could learn so much about what works.
How much does the U.S. spend on #edtech? The short answer: we don’t know. The long answer: it’s at least double what we thought. And that should startle us. https://t.co/FnvgFgcpcs

Watching the #nea-conservatives get rid of COVID safeguards. Meanwhile, though, why aren't we doing a re vs blue state olympics in such things as vaccine distribution?

Confused. We can J&J vaccinate every teacher, administrator, and staff member working in a school this weekend. Why not do that and reopen schools by the ides of March?

A bit tired of people saying that can create an excellent online college course for under $25,000. They can say it only because the metrics are difficult and no one is keeping score. Accepting or ignoring this nonsense keeps us from collaborating on actual solutions.

Great article about #GenerationC by Scott Bass at American U.

The landscape of our children's lives seems like a hopeless nightmare of student debt, limited job prospects, political conflict and conspiracy theories.

Got a table saw, and my CFO argues that any injury would not be covered by workman’s comp. She’s wrong. It’s all the office now….

Reading Josh Kim and Eddie Maloney's new book, Learning Innovation and the Future of Higher Education. Smart and free of bluster and magical thinking that underlie most such books.

Learned something this year, and thought I'd share:

I recently learned something, through an adventure that could have gone very badly. It didn’t because of my good friend and spectacular lawyer, Christopher Serbagi.

I hesitate to say this, but I really like the @CollegeBoard's new initiative. With affirmative action on the ropes, this would be a better path to diversity than simply looking at income.

If it weren't for canceled meetings, my schedule would be impossible. Trite, perhaps, but true.
