Quick Look: Ed Tech Panel At Stanford Tackles Common Core and More

Next Tuesday, September 17, I'll be moderating a panel organized by MIT-Stanford Venture Lab (VLAB), the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the MIT Enterprise Forum. Among the many topics covered, we'll be discussing how ed-tech entrepreneurs and businesses can best serve educators as Common Core State Standards are rolled out.

On the panel, will be representatives from MasteryConnect, Illuminate Education, Pearson North America, and Imagine K-12.

For those in the Bay Area interested in the topics -- especially teachers -- we would love to see you there!
