About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To help shape the future

ABOUT ME

My formal bio is this:
Chief Executive Officer of the New Media Consortium (NMC), an international consortium of nearly 300 world-class universities, colleges, museums, research centers, and technology companies dedicated to using new technologies to support learning, research, and creative expression. He is an acknowledged expert on the effective application of new media in many contexts, and has worked extensively to build common ground among museums and universities across North America and in more than a dozen other countries.

I will be back with an informal one soon..

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short for drama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have hosted several CS parties at our home that were organized by my son Alejandro Johnson

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much, but my wife and I are extremely well traveled.

Interests

music -- I am an avid guitarist, with some proficiency in the blues

photography -- I shoot every single day. I am in the process of uploading my stuff to Flickr -- see some here:

My life's work is to explore emerging technologies and how they can be applied to learning. This is a passion that drives much of what I do. See www.nmc.org for more
