Conversations Episode 78 – A Balancing Act

 This week we continued a conversation that began on Twitter when Alec Couros went to his daughter’s Back to School Night.  Along with Will Richardson, Lee Kolbert, and Angela Maiers, we discussed the issues we face as parents when walking into our own children’s classrooms.  Alec could not join us but was with us in spirit….we hope.

What would you do with a magic wand to change education? That was the
topic for our conversation this week. It was from a question posed to
Lisa by David Warlick. Alec Couros and Paul Bogush joined us. Although
we didn’t stick to this topic per se, there was much conversation
around change in education and school. The folks in the chat room kept
thing going as well.
