Not sure if anyone videoed his session.....<br /><br />Nancy, you are amazing...but what a great opportunity to feed from the conference via the active participants. I think Twitter ruled for this one, however Chatzy was strong on the first day.<br /><br />Lucy....ok, I will rise to the challenge and write a blog post about this in line with what I am writing as a proposal to run something similar in Hong Kong next September...which in itself is aligned with and similar to what Vicki and I and others did in Qatar for the Flat Classroom Conference.Julie Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043807289251144925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-28742799929477849412009-05-02T11:36:00.000+10:002009-05-02T11:36:00.000+10:00So elaborate on the following quote.

I think it would be a fun project; get a group of people together to design a workshop that meets your criteria!<br /><br />"Let's stop just talking about it, let's do it! Let's create this as a conference format. What if Apple took all of their philosophy (which btw is very similar to the IBO philosophy for learning and the whole-child approach) and created thematic 1-day and 2-day immersion workshops where participants came away with hands-on experience in using tools, developing curriculum and pedagogy based on essential research of what works, were all-encompassing, and supported what is needed to support 21st century skills and attitudes for digital learning. OK, maybe they do already?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-30507059654067838392009-05-01T21:01:00.000+10:002009-05-01T21:01:00.000+10:00Hi Julie,

While following conf participant comments on Twitter and Chatzy, I was taking notes, opening links, searching for terms or references and logging all this on a GoogleDoc. That doc is now a mess and I plan on revisiting it this weekend to sort things out and reflect. I gained so much and raised so many new questions from hovering in the distance. <br /><br />I agree that a conference can be more effective if it actually reflects what we are all talking about. I remember a M.Ed class with a less-than-stellar professor and I came away with a list of approaches and habits to avoid in my own classroom. The actual learner/participant experience is so powerful in forming our plans as teachers and facilitators.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-25735402831815563382009-05-01T20:00:00.000+10:002009-05-01T20:00:00.000+10:00Julie,

I get inspired by Marco every time I hear him speak and had the pleasure of attending a day long digital story session with him at NECC in San Diego in 2006. <br /><br />I was hoping you would know if anyone had video of Marco's Sunday Keynote. If not, I'll await his materials post on his Flickschool site. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />KentKent Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569837692043140331noreply@blogger.com
