In mid-November, I had the privilege to once again attend and speak at the Virtual School Symposium, iNACOL's annual online learning conference, which looks toward this very future. The title this year was "Online and Blended Learning: The Future of Education."
As usual, it was a great conference--for my two cents, it's consistently the best education conference year after year. The energy is infectious. The focus is on the student. And, in classic disruptive fashion, amidst tough budget times, it--and the sector more generally--continues to grow. The continuing innovation in the field is thrilling as well, as the title of the conference suggest.
During Gov. Bob Wise's keynote, however, the enormity of the task of transforming the system hit me, as he laid out the challenge for the nation in stark terms.
