She is participating in the Aspen Institute
Task Force on Learning and the Internet program. Honored to be a part of Task

“Today, technology makes it possible for
students to learn anytime and anywhere. I am excited to work with my colleagues
to explore the best ways to increase digital learning and innovation without
compromising safety, civility, or privacy. The Task Force will analyze what’s
working, what needs improvement, and how to ensure that the participatory
educational opportunities of the web are optimized for safety and
learning."
The Task Force, made
up of 20 individuals with diverse perspectives in learning,
innovation, and safety, includes honorary co-chair Former Governor Jeb Bush. They will participate in online public
conversations to ensure diverse ideas and comments are included as part of
their discussions and will release
