I’ve had the great opportunity to participate at the International Society for Technology in Education’s annual conference. There were, of course, fantastic workshops and amazing keynotes. Hopefully, these two videos will give you a glimpse of how interesting this conference is. Opening keynote and panel with Sir Ken Robinson, Shawn Covell, Mark Presnky, Mayim Bialik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MWcEoOa_-E Dr. Yong Zhao Keynote http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijSxt94vhf0 With any luck, some edited versions of these two keynotes will eventually be made available by ISTE. I’ll keep you posted!		You can use this calendar page as your desktop’s wallpaper. How can you tell someone isn’t sure about something? They’ll tell you they know the truth and talk in absolutes.
