What an appropriate day, on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday, 50 years after his famous speech, to begin this blog. I too have a dream…that all of the children in this country, no matter the color of their skin or the neighborhood they live in, have the opportunity to shape, as Dr. King would say, “the content of their characters” by completing college.
So begins my journey to create the company that will help schools transform traditional courses into engaged, individualized and collaborative 21st Century learning.
I am Carrie O’Donnell, an ed tech entrepreneur with a unique perspective, having spent 20 years running a business that helps education companies design, develop and launch new brands and products. In those years, I learned a lot about what to do, and what not to do, lessons that I am planning to explore as we launch this new venture.
Carrie, you are definitely on fire! You are inspirational and just the doctor ordered to kick life and passion back to into our limping excuse for education.
Being a catalyst and thought leader……here’s to the future..
“engaged, individualized and collaborative 21st Century learning” is precisely what we need in America today. And now finally we have the technology tools and in you the leadership to make the dream come true. Go OD Learn!
You are beautiful! And awesome, and amazing, and- need I say more?
Bold and right to the point if what’s needed- leadership in education that can shape a future.
