Wow! One of my projects — the Connected Learning Initiative (CLIx) — has just won a major UNESCO prize! You can read more about it in these press releases:

It’s been amazing to watch this project grow from potential (the agreement will get signed soon) to reality (let’s start working!) to implementation (ship it to the schools) over the last five years. I’m proud to have been part of such a large ed-tech collaboration, since usually we talk about a handful of schools for a research project. Hundreds of schools and tens of thousands of students for an initial rollout boggles my mind.
