Education X.0
The world has changed and education needs to follow suit. We are educators and parents who believe there's a better way to do school. These podcasts reflect our ongoing dialogue about the purpose and best practices of school. We hope to stimulate conversation and provide resources to people who are ready to take education to the next level.
