Learning 2.0 Conference Shanghai

The Learning 2.0 Conference in Shaghai is rapidly approaching!

Date: September 14-15-16, 2007
Location: Concordia International School
Doing “school” is changing more rapidly all the time. Technology is certainly one factor in these changes in education, the workplace, and life in general. As a result of innovations that we have all observed, students are more visually orientated and are considered digital natives to a growing degree. Educators see the implications of this and a need to re-define good teaching in response to this more dynamic environment. All agree that we must all expand our teaching/coaching/collaboration skills. Come join the search as we together build the future of schools.

There are some amazing speakers attending ( Alan November, Chris Smith, Will Richardson, Wes Fryer ...) and I feel that it will be a totally inspirational event ... unfortunately I will not be there. Invited to speak but now am advised that 'travel will not be in your best interests at this time.' However, I am going to 'do' my sessions by blog and live Skypecast for those who are interested in what I have to say ... I feel that this is entirely in kepping with the 'Web 2.0' ethos of a Conference that describes itself as 'Communication, Collaboration, Connection'

I have opened a blog to get things started.


As preliminary reading the article by Wes Fryer sets an interesting scene.
