It's hard to believe that this week's FETC conference marked my 20th year attending the 2nd largest EdTech conference in North America. Depsite being sold a couple of years ago, FETC remains one of the key 'goto' conferences we consider leading-edge and a high priority for MindShare to attend in order to stay at the forefront of innovation in education. I look forward to podcasting this week on the EdTech evolution that I observed over the past 20 years.
As I reflect back, what stands out to me most are the amazing and passionate people I've met both in education and industry. The overwhelming majority of colleagues remain in the education space mainly because they are passionate about learning and the opportunity to make an impact on student success.

We are planning a reunion of TLC colleagues at the ISTE conference this June in Phildelphia. Drop me a note if you're a TLC alum and intersted in going. Our reunion committee includes: Kathy Hurley, Deb deVries and James Ruddy. |
