I'm currently attending a 21st century learning conference in Hong Kong.
Some of the ideas presented have been fabulous, even inspiring! The idea is to tap into the culture that we are---which is a "hyper connected" one. Rather than trying to get kids away from their video games and i-phones, presenters have suggested that educators use that passion and interest and gear it toward our learning objectives. Many of the ideas have really made me stop and think---and feel excited about things to do in my own classroom, and maybe even in my own home.
