He is a leading voice for school reform in the context of the fundamental changes these new technologies are bringing to all aspects of life.
His critically acclaimed, best-selling book Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Tools for Classrooms, now in its third edition, is used by tens of thousands of teachers to reinvent their practice, and his presentations and workshops for audiences around the world communicate a fresh and inspiring vision of what schools can and must become.
He is a national advisory board member for the George Lucas Education Foundation, a monthly columnist for District Administration Magazine, and a frequent contributor to magazines and journals such as Educational Leadership and Edutopia.
