David Boulton, a learning-activist, technologist, author, and public speaker, will be presenting his platform for ‘turning up the learning’ at a series of events March 22-23, 2010, hosted by the Reading By 8 Project in Greenville, South Carolina.
Mr. Boulton is the president of Learning Stewards, a non-profit organization, and is the director of the Children of the Code Project. He is well-known by educators for his work on the societal and emotional effects of learning difficulties.
In his Greenville presentations and discussions, Mr. Boulton drew on The New Science of Learning public television special and his work on the Children of the Code Project to connect the dots between ‘turning up the learning’ and improving the health and development of individuals, families, communities, schools, businesses, workforces, and our overall economy.
David Bolton has recently posted the following videos filmed in Greenville to the project he directs, The Children of the Code.
COTC: GREENVILLE – READING BY 8: In March, David Boulton, Director of the COTC project, gave a series of presentations (United Way , Rotary International, Greenville University , Greenville Library, YWCA, and others) in Greenville, S.C..
