#whatisschool is ready to Hack Learning this week as I am joined by the legendary Mark Barnes who is a Hack Learning expert and is the Author of the Hack Learning Book series. Mark is connected to over 135,000 educators on Twitter and continues to be an inspiration for me and other educators leading learning in the online space.
To get us energized for this week’s chat Mark wanted to share, “After decades in education, I decided that most problems remain in committee forever or fall victim to the dreaded 5-year plan. Teachers and school leaders have problems that require right-now solutions. We have the insight, experience, and assets necessary to solve virtually any problem. We just have to find them. This is what Hack Learning does”. Join Mark and me for what will be a powerful and insightful hour of learning.
