S6 E20: Design for People, Pedagogy and Place

October 12, 2022

What was your experience as a kid with school?

Overview:

Too many schools around the world still operate in a traditional manner, leaving future students to experience these same challenges that we faced years ago. If we are going to improve education, we need to continue to challenge the status quo and create change for education.

In 2015 Travis was recognized for his work with integrating technology into classrooms by being named TIE Technology Leader of the Year. Travis believes that by empowering learners to drive their learning we can start to create a new system that honors all learners and their cultures.

When Travis is not at work you can find him spending time together with his wife Lynn and their two boys DJ (4) and Tyler (1).
