after three years of being a kid in an intellectual candy store, today marks my last real day as a full-time employee of stanford university. tomorrow i fly to cincinnati for a week of meetings and ramping up for my new job with the
knowledgeworks foundation. kwf looks at innovations in education and advocates for reform, mostly in ohio (no, i'm not moving to ohio; i'm working from home in sf and traveling about 30%). they're bringing me in to do a variety of tasks, including:
- liaising with strategic technology partners (such as the institute for the future, with whom i've worked before)
- evangelizing for the foundation's mission and projects
- building community around projects
the main project i'll be working on is the
map of future forces affecting education, developed by the institute for the future and kwf jointly.
i'll still be involved with ongoing projects and events at stanford as time permits, including writing for the
d.school magazine,
ambidextrous, helping with a new course on the future of education, and participating in the
summer institute at wallenberg hall.
