Tuesday @ NECC
The second full day at NECC has been great… I just came from an excellent presentation by Bernie Dodge, PhD from San Diego State, who asked us if technology could make us wise… and the answers were interesting! He encouraged us to seek wisdom-promoting practices in the classroom, because wisdom is teachable. And technology can make it happen.
Now I’m waiting for another session to start… on games and simulations. I hope it’s good.
The opening “keynote” discussion this morning was good too, with several different personalities on stage (a dancer, a creative marketer, an educator, etc.) that revealed to us what our focus for future workers should be focused upon…
The problem with picking sessions many times is… Where to go? I had 3-4 great sessions picked out for each slot. Open-source, gaming, wikis, communications, etc. I also captured some video today to use in a forthcoming podcast.

I found the gaming workshop interesting too. Did you see the math game student tournament at 3 p.m.?

No, I missed that… That’s the problem with the conference-too many interesting sessions!
