Hacking Education - Union Square Ventures
2009 is racing by — I can’t believe it’s been ~5 months since I was fortunate to attend the Hacking Education gathering in New York City, assembled and hosted by the amazing team at Union Square Ventures. I really don’t have much to add to the summary that the USV team has posted, but if you are interested in helping create the future of education, I couldn’t more strongly recommend that you take 20-30 minutes to read it complely from the first words to the end of the comment thread (it may be the best comment thread I’ve eve read!). While present in the room, I was clearly aware that I’m incredibly ‘new’ to the world of education transformation, but that doesn’t diminish my excitement about the contributions that TeachStreet will make in opening up the world of lifelong learning to the Web and beyond — taking the time to re-read the summary only gets me more excited about the potential impact of our work, and the fellowship of innovators that we’re proud to be among.
