In today’s episode, we sit down with Tom Driscoll, CEO of EdTech Teacher, author, and national keynote speaker, to explore how education can embrace innovation and create learning experiences that are engaging, authentic, and future-ready. Tom shares how approaches like gamification, mastery-based feedback, and skills-based credentialing open new pathways for students to grow with confidence and agency.
Together, we look at how industry partnerships with organizations like IBM and Adobe expand opportunities for schools, why performance-based professional learning helps teachers thrive, and how real-world projects connect students to their communities in powerful ways. Tom’s perspective offers an inspiring roadmap for what’s possible when educators, industry, and communities work together to reimagine learning.
