It is a genuine pleasure to return to IL-TCE. It’s a uniquely deep conference in that at the writing of this entry, we are beginning the third day of the event, and it is already shining in the blogosphere. Below is a new feature of my online handouts, an aggregator of the most recent blog postings for this even. Beneath the listing is a link to an additional page which will display a more extensive listing along with pictures that have been taken and attributed to the IL-TCE. Enjoy!
Telling the New StoryI have only presented this keynote three or four times, but I’m very happy with its success and especially with the goal that it sets out to achieve. If we are to retool our classrooms into learning environments that are relevant not only to the future we’re preparing our children for, but also for the unique learning skills that our children are entering our classrooms with, then it will happen only because we went out and told a compelling new story about the 21st century classroom.
Right & Wrong on the Information Highway
The nature of information has changed. It’s changed in what it looks like, what we look at to view it, how and where we find it, what we can do with it, and how we communicate it. Each of these characteristics has vast implications us all, and they require a new kind of literacy, information ethics.
This presentation will explore three aspects of this new literacy of information ethics: reliability of information, information property, and information infrastructure.
Riding the Edge of the Wave
This is a fun session that explores the future of technology. What is interesting about this presentation, though, is that most of the technologies being explored — are already here.
