@beacrea +100 to this! Why I love focusing on HTML/CSS as entry to tech. When people see they get online and write their own sites by sticking on opening and closing tags they are amazed. We just complicate it by over designing UX rather than educating world

@beacrea My radical idea is to put the future of knowledge and data in the hands of teachers and librarians rather than #adtech Why can't library or schools give space for students or patrons and then teach folks how to read and write with modern web tools?

@megansaxelby @MindShiftKQED one tip (also make infographics better) is to preplan infographic as doc or paper. Pre-planning improves writing and design and schools are 100% liable for being ADA compliant. Infographics are not without text based version

When MacArthur or Hewlett Packarack Foundations switch directions the "open" movement often has to follow suit. This has been true for decades, but it is nowhere near the moral bankruptcy of Epstein, Ito and now Lessig.
