G


Just like the Future Ready Summit, G's time with us was engaging and inspirational. I learned several new tricks and tools, but more importantly, how technology can positively impact and engage learners of all ages.

A motif that I've noticed in the short time that I've been engaged in deeper thinking about technology and education is storytelling. G told a compelling story about his career change and creation of a new and more fulfilling career path. At the summit, stories were shared about failure, redemption, social justice, and more. I see this as a very foundational human experience and it is interesting that technology and storytelling can be so intertwined.
