Mark your calendars!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A few days ago, Edutopia<\/a> asked me to write another piece voicing my objections to NBC’s Education Nation coverage and the deeply flawed documentary, “Waiting for Superman.” I suggested that they host a webinar instead. I had already tweeted, blogged and Facebooked so much that I inexplicably lost my voice.<\/p>\n

Edutopia took the suggestion and enlisted boy wonder, Steve Hargaddon<\/a>, to organize and host the event entitled, Elevating the Education Reform Debate<\/a>. This two hour webinar will feature some of the voices silenced by NBC, Oprah and director Davis Guggenheim. They include my heroes and colleagues, Deborah Meier and Alfie Kohn; friends, Chris Lehmann and Will Richardson; YouTube sensation, Sir Ken Robinson; and Julie Evans. I cannot wait to hear what they (or I) will say on Monday.<\/p>\n

Wake the kids and call your neighbors! This is an event you won’t want to miss!<\/p>\n

This Elluminate webinar is FREE and open to the entire World Wide Web.<\/p>\n

\n
Date<\/strong>: Monday, October 4, 2010<\/div>\n
Time<\/strong>: 2pm Pacific \/ 5pm Eastern \/ 9pm GMT (international times here<\/a>)<\/div>\n
Duration<\/strong>: 2 hours
\nLocation<\/strong>: Log in at\u00a0http:\/\/tr.im\/futureofed<\/a><\/div>\n
Recordings: <\/strong>Posted after the event at http:\/\/www.learncentral.org\/event\/106358<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Note: <\/strong>Conference organizers have a nasty tendency to book me last on the program, this webinar may<\/em> be no exception. Therefore, stick around for Sir Ken and hangout for me to bring up the rear. I promise not to disappoint!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
