First NYC Digital Learning Meetup

Tonight I am giving a talk at the First NYC Digital Learning Meetup.  The event is organized by the folks from Startl, which aims to support and accelerate the development of companies that apply technology to enable learner-centered education.  I am very much looking forward to speaking, as “Hacking Education” has been a long-standing interest for me. 

My talk will be about the incredible opportunities that the web represents for learning and education, but also the challenges faced by startups in this area in dealing with the existing system.  If anyone is looking for inspiration, I suggest watching this video from Gel 2010
