About Me

Bill Simmalavong

I am fascinated by the changing landscape of education. As technology and new practices collide, we stand in a new age of an educational transformation. Throughout my career I have sought new experiences and practices that push the boundaries of teaching and learning. With a keen sense for 21st century learning, entrepreneurialism, and technology, I enable and scale new ways of thinking and doing.
