We no longer live in the industrial revolution, yet our educational system remains unchanged. What can we do to start to make changes to bring our education system to the 21st century? What wastes time in our school day that could be replaced with digital age skills that we know will be necessary for our youth of tomorrow? It's time for an educational revolution. Dr. L. Robert Furman is an Elementary Principal, thought leader, national keynote speaker, and published author; but most notably, Dr. Rob is a true champion for education in the 21st century. As a former music teacher and now a veteran administrator, Dr. Rob serves in the foreground of everyday education. Currently, Dr. Rob serves as Principal at South Park Elementary Center outside of Pittsburgh, PA, and has truly become a sought after leader in topics surrounding the field of education. Beyond speaking at venues across the country, Dr. Rob is also a contributing blogger for The Huffington Post as well as the Ed Tech Review. He is a founding member of The Council on the Future of Education and is the podcast host under the same name. Rob also hosts a well-known YouTube educational video blog called "The Seditionists".
