Preaching to the converted

Sometimes, not often, we run into a school district administrator who “gets it” before we even start talking about our product.  Yesterday was one of those times.  We were giving a presentation and demonstration to Jon Corippo of Chawanakee Unified in California.  While we were having the meeting, Jon was tweeting about our product on twitter and getting us a referral to another district in the process.  That was definitely a first for us.

But, the point of this post is not to praise Jon, although he is certainly deserving, but to make more people aware of the district’s new digital high school.  They have an amazing, cutting edge plan, that as Jon describes it “Throws everything we think is education out the window because it does not work, and starts over”.  Check them out at minaretsmustangs.wikispaces.com.  One of the nice things about my job is being able to meet with visionary individuals.  Jon has a vision and is making it happen everyday.

Oh, and what did Jon think about our product?  He wants it.
