The "A" Train - Your Ride into 21st Century Learning

Welcome to Ferdi Serim's new website, dedicated to improving our options for learning in the 21st Century. As one of the original Internet pioneers, Ferdi's work as a "practical visionary" has a global reach, wherever people have accepted the challenge of change in the digital age. Now, for the first time, his reflections, essays, whitepapers, project designs and "straight-up" takes (on the convergence of learning, schooling, society and technology) are brought together in print, multimedia and online forms.

When Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn said "if you take the A Train, you will get to Harlem in a hurry" it was at the height of the Harlem Renaissance. We are overdue for a global renaissance of learning, and the A Train website provides the platform from which such a journey may embark.

Today's destination of 21st Century learning requires that all learners (students, teachers, parents, community) move beyond scripts and formulas to become skilled improvisers, who know how to create learning paths to meet continually evolving goals. Ferdi's metaphors have helped thousands harness the potentials of technology for lifelong learning. His three decades experience as an educator and jazz artist make him uniquely qualified to guide you on your journey. Get on Board!
