I’ve written about the future of learning for the likes of TheAtlantic.com, the NPR/PBS MindShift site, and Salon. (For an introduction to self-directed learning, please see this presentation.)

My most popular education articles include: “Five-Year-Olds Can Learn Calculus” (which was translated into half a dozen languages), “This is What a Student-Designed School Looks Like,” and “To Advance Education, We Must First Re-Imagine Society.”

I’ve also published scores of articles on other topics for the likes of The New York Times, The Washington Post, Smithsonian, and National Geographic Traveler, and I’ve contributed to several books. Additionally, I’ve worked for Fortune 500 corporations and tech start-ups; large foundations and other non-profits; government agencies; and large multilateral organizations (see my LinkedIn page for more details). I have degrees in systems engineering and journalism.

I’ve co-founded innovative microschool/co-op hybrid groups for homeschoolers in Washington, DC, and currently run The Hub, a part-time online microschool that empowers homeschooled tweens and teens to reap the benefits of learning in community.
