Hi. My name is Gary Obermeyer, founder of Learning Options, Portland, Oregon, USA.
I am a virtual community organizer:
– helping values-driven teams enhance and extend their collaborative efforts through the effective use of information technology and customized web-based applications.
– focusing on teams/organizations that are passionately committed to the idea of transforming schools from the factory model to self-organizing, student-centered learning communities.
– envisioning a system in which we are all recognized as both TEACHERS and LEARNERS; co-creators of a sustainable future.
Fortunately, such a future is already emerging through an expanding web of formal and informal educator networks. My personal mission and the mission of Learning Options are one and the same – to do what I can to facilitate this necessary transformation.
