Freedman has held numerous executive positions that, along with his extensive consulting with for-profits, non-profits, and institutions, have influenced both the development of education technologies and education policy and practice. Through his research, writing, and participation in various settings, Freedman firmly believes that major education transformations are underway in each of the segments, and between the segments, and that these are largely occurring without adequate planning, guidance, measurement, public and expert comment, or social and technical architecture and integration.
Freedman is a visionary thinker who has led transformational efforts that require the development of broad consensus with diverse groups to achieve common objectives. Freedman’s knowledge and leadership in media production, technology development, and organizational consulting has placed him in a unique position to be a change agent who can stimulate new levels of thought leadership and business activity. Freedman's contact base and supportive relationships are extensive in most of the areas of education.
