I am retired after more than 30 years in the computer industry. My most exciting job was directing the project to build the Internet2 network - a member only network for universities and research organizations, used to pilot really advanced Internet application, such as networked drama and music, remote surgery, super hi-def streaming etc. I also ran the not-for-profit called ThinkQuest, which challenged and rewarded 100,000 students worldwide to prepare educational websites.
During that project, I became interested in the parlous state of our schools, and I am now writing a book suggesting how 21st century schools will look.
