"Hacking Education" Event Featured in TIME Cover Story

A few months ago, I attended (and blogged about) “Hacking Education,” a full-day discussion organized by Union Square Ventures.  As I mentioned in the blog post, one of the most interesting components of the event was the large Twitter projection at the back of the room; it was a place for people inside and outside the room to participate in the conversation.

During the event, I sat next to Steven Johnson, a thoughtful entrepreneur and author who has written six books, including Everything Bad is Good For You and The Invention of Air.  He has just written a Time cover story on the power of Twitter and discusses the event in detail.

It’s definitely worth the read.
