Learning 2.012

The theme: Learning, Changing, Leading

I’m looking forward to having some new perspectives, new approaches and new ideas, and maybe rediscover things I have heard of before but have forgotten.

Introductory address:

Life cycles – vision and courage are required – quotes from Helen Keller and Machiavelli, and a question – in the new information economy, who will be in control of education?

“It all comes down to people” – from EARCOS representative

Madeleine Brooks Committee Chair

For educators, by educators, organised virtually, changes/evolves every year

Extended Sessions, Cohorts, Unconference, Presentations

Student from WAB – 21st C Learning in China

* students are digitally wired

* tools everywhere, though some particular constraints in China – but this is a challenge to find alternatives, to really examine what that tool was for or could provide and come up with own solutions

Questions: what’s working, and what isn’t? Those things that aren’t working, why? how can we make them work?

 

Very amusing skit from Geek Force student tech helpers regarding those among us who still struggle with technology

Great use of icons on the website and for participants’ badges
