About a year ago, my friend (and former substitute teacher!) Mike Savatovsky told me about a wonderful organization that he was intent on starting. Mike is someone who's always been interested in providing people with education. I fondly remember sitting in class with Mike and remarking how apt a teacher he was.
When we started working on the Flyt Foundation together, I asked Mike what he felt made him such a successful teacher. He told me that what made him successful was his ability to tell stories. As someone who produces online education resources, I thought of how fragmented my own work is and how it suffers from this very issue.
All this is to say that the Flyt Foundation just recently launched a preliminary site on a humble budget with the lofty goal of providing young people with the ability to tell stories that will change our world into a better one.
