I received a tweet from Lene Jensby Lange, from Denmark, asking about our e-learning model at Freemans Bay School. Lene had checked out my principal’s blog and followed up with a couple of questions about our e-learning model Lene is a founder of Autens Educational Design Consultancy in Denmark. This consultancy facilitates and leads innovation to support educational leaders to align their school vision with new and renovated school design. I asked Lene if I could meet her in Denmark to discuss links between learning design and school design as part of my travel fellowship in 2014. Not only did Lene agree, but she showed me around a whole lot of schools and organisations and I was able to stay with her and family in Copenhagen – where the conversations flowed into the night. Since then we have been great twitter mates! We often have tweet or Skype, problem solving and sharing perspectives and experiences. Networking with Lene led to being invited to become a member of the Global Schools Alliance. GLOBAL SCHOOLS ALLIANCE (GSA) The vision of GSA was developed by a group of global educators: ● David Price, OBE (member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) ● Andrew Raymer (Founder and former Head of Matthew Moss UK) ● Dr. Steven Edwards (White House and World Bank advisor) Sandra Jenkins @FreemansbayScho
