More Now: A Message from the Future for the Educators of Today Kindle Edition

by Mark Wagner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 10
See all formats and editions

School change is never easy, but it is necessary to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s world.



Our job as educators is no longer to help students memorize a few things they might need someday. Our job is to help students access and use information in ways that are meaningful to them—and to others. This doesn’t mean students don't need schools or teachers; kids need educators as their guides now more than ever. It does mean the priorities and processes of education must change.


In More Now, EdTechTeam Founder, Mark Wagner, PhD, explores the six essential elements of effective school change: courageous leaders, empowered teachers, student agency, inspiring spaces, robust infrastructure, and engaged communities. You’ll learn from educational leaders, teachers, and technologists how you can make each of these essential elements part of your school or district culture—starting now.


It’s time to “dream out loud” and be “an architect of the possible” in creating the future students need. We can’t afford to wait.


“When the caterpillar asked Alice, ‘Who are you?’ she responded, ‘I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.’ If you’re lucky, this will be how you feel after reading this book.”
—John Wick, EdD, director of education of Qneuro


“Mark Wagner has always been light-years ahead when thinking about the future of education. This book does a great job of helping the rest of us catch up.”
—Brendan Brennan, director of Moonshot Laboratory

“The further you read, the warmer the feeling gets inside you that you’re not alone and that you're ready for the future with your students and colleagues.”
—Wendy Gorton, educational technologist and author of 50 Hikes with Kids


“This book will pull you out of your comfort zone and help you create the education that your students need and deserve.”
—Dr. Nick Polyak, superintendent and coauthor of The Unlearning Leader and Student Voice

Dr. Mark Wagner serves as President of Space Prize, a nonprofit organization focused on promoting STEM education and increasing the representation of women in aerospace careers. He also teaches the Space Education graduate certificate program at Kepler Space Institute, and is the Associate Editor for the Journal of Space Philosophy. In addition, he is the founder of ARES Learning, which provides a vision for schools that prepare students with the skill sets and mindsets they’ll need to be successful in the growing space economy - and in humanity’s rapidly approaching multi-planet future.

Dr. Wagner began his career as a high school English teacher, later serving as an Educational Technology Coordinator at the site, district, and county level. In 2006 he launched EdTechTeam, a professional development company dedicated to inspiring and empowering educators around the world. Each year EdTechTeam served 50,000 educators through over 100 conference-style events and hundreds of workshops in dozens of countries. EdTechTeam was recognized as the Google for Education Partner of the Year in 2018. However, Mark was a lifelong space enthusiast, having attended Space Camp twice while growing up, and having originally gone to school for astronautical engineering. Now he is thrilled to have made the transition to applying his educational technology experience in the growing field of Space Education.

Mark Wagner has a Ph.D. in Educational Technology and a masters degree in Cross-Cultural Education. He also holds graduate certificates in Space Education and Space Philosophy. He is the author of More Now: A Message from The Future for The Educators of Today (2018) and Space Education: Preparing Students for Humanity's Multi-Planet Future (2022), which explores both the current reality on Earth and the possibilities for teaching students on the Moon, on Mars, and in deep space habitats.

Outside his work, Mark loves playing hockey, practicing martial arts, and obsessing over his ’62 beetle, which now runs on an electric motor and Tesla batteries. He is a certified health coach and biohacking enthusiast, who also enjoys songwriting, spending time in nature, and exploring the world with his friends and family.

Super timely, inspirational, and wonderful reminder that you might not be alone in your efforts to make life better for kids and families. I found it a fun and thoughtful read, with lots of great connections, quotes, and interviews and found myself building my personal learning network on almost every other page as more concrete, usable examples and sparks of insight are sprinkled throughout the book. Teachers, leaders, entrepreneurs, kids, parents and anyone who has a stake in the future should read this book and start now with making change in the world.

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018
Run run run to get this book. You will finish it and find that you have both the inspiration and motivation to go forward to make the world changes that you've always dreamed of making in your corner of the world. On each page Mark Wagner shares stories of educators taking risks to be subversive innovators in their schools, and he gives you the blueprint to do the same in your own school. This book is not only for educators, it's for anyone who wants to find ways to connect globally, lead with intentional and innovation, and take the next risk toward living a life aligned to their passions. This book exudes hopefulness and optimism for what is possible.

Until the crew at The Moonshot Factory finish their secret work on a flux capacitor, this book is the best way to get a glimpse of where we’re headed and where our students need to be. Mark has always been a visionary, and with More Now, we can have a look through his optimistic and inspiring point of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this book
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2018
I highly recommend this book, as it is applicable to pre-service and in-service educators of all levels. If we want our students to embrace change and be prepared, we owe it to them to model this behavior by practicing it ourselves.
