Ian Jukes is an educator first and foremost. His focus has consistently been on the compelling need to restructure our institutions so that they become relevant to the current and future needs of children. For the past two years, Ian Jukes has been rated by his audiences one of the very best presenters at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC). His rambunctious, irreverent and highly charged presentations emphasize many of the practical issues related to ensuring that change is meaningful; and as a registered educational evangelist, his self avowed mission in life is to ensure that children are properly prepared for the future rather than society's past. As a result, Jukes' work tends to focus on many of the pragmatic issues that provide the essential contexts for educational restructuring.
