After a highly successful inaugural event in 2014 in Ottawa, Canada, Kivuto advanced its annual Summit to the US west coast. Today’s event took place in Los Angeles, as part of ‘Innovation Week’ and hosted a lineup of world-class speakers, including a keynote address by Education Futures founder, Dr. John Moravec.Education Futures LLC.
 
“In order to be competitive in tomorrow’s workforce, students will need to be creative, imaginative, and agile; they’ll need to be able to work with anybody, anytime, anywhere,” said Moravec.  “To prepare for this, a fundamental shift in education is required – a focus on how we learn versus what we learn is imperative.  Events like SimplifiED are so important because they provide a forum for education decision makers to discuss and explore the ideas and tools that help pave the way for real-world advancement in learning.”
