Superconference 2009

Well it was exhausting, invigorating and challenging. It is always wonderful to share the energy created by 4000 like minded individuals with a shared passion!

This year was interesting as we explored the impact of Disruptive economies, disruptive technologies and creativity. How will this affect us as learners and leaders but most importantly, how will this affect our students? Are we really preparing them for a future we cannot understand? What changes must we make to our teaching practice to ensure that we maximize the impact of read/write web 2.0 technologies in our work? How can we effect systemic change?

I have just spent the day re-reading and organizing notes and reflecting on where do I go from here? Any ideas, comments? I would love to hear some.

I think that you must begin by effecting change in your own corner. Only by doing what you talk about, and showing people why 2.0 tools and new technologies are effective and incredible, can you convince them to try. I start with one or two tools, that I think will make a difference in the way students learn, and go from there.

Never underestimate the difference one determined individual can make.
