The Future of Education: Nick Kind of Tyton Partners

During 2014, American K-12 schools will spend an estimated $9.94 billion on educational technology. U.S. schools alone purchased approximately 3.5 million tablets in 2014.

Today, we speak with Nick Kind, Senior Director of Tyton Partners, for a special episode on the future of education. Tyton Partners is an advisory and strategy consulting firm specializing in education. Nick focuses on impact investment, venture philanthropy and other investment projects in education and the “Future of Work.” He previously ran an education software company, worked in publishing at the Holtzbrinck Group, and was a Senior Vice President at Area9, a personalized learning platform.

"What's happening now is not online learning. It's emergency remote learning," says Nick. "Technology is just a tool to deliver an outcome. It's the way you use those tools that matters."
