The Future of Education: Online Discussion

Tonight I'll be a panelist discussing Seth Godin's Stop Stealing Dreams manifesto on www.futureofeducation.com, 7PM EST. My fellow panelists will be:

Nikhil Goyal, a student at Syosset High School in New York. He is currently writing a book on education reform: Time to Think Different: Why America Needs a Learning Revolution.

Lisa Nalbone - Parent to Dale Stephens who is leading the Uncollege Movement.

Lisa Cooley has been agitating for changes in public education for eight years. She blogs at

Lisa Nielsen writes for and speaks to audiences across the globe about learning innovatively. The Innovative Educator.

I was surprised to learn today that Godin wrote this piece to learn how ideas spread as part of his Domino Project with Amazon.com; it makes me feel a bit confused about where he truly stands when it comes to education reform. Is this all, in the end, just an elaborate marketing study?
