Teaching Interdependence

... was the title of the Keynote address I gave to 500+ educators at this year's B.Y.T.E. conference. The sense I had of the audience was that many of the ideas I talked about here were new to them. A quick survey of the room while giving the talk revealed only about three people had heard of Wolfram Alpha and I think about the same number had heard of the TPACK Framework.




I hope I get a chance to do this talk again. There are a number of things I think I could have done better.




Anyway, if you're interested, here it is in various formats. You pick how you'd like to take it in.

Kids Are Amazing!

Run, don't walk, over to Chris Harbeck's class blog to learn about his un-Project and see what his kids have done. Most of it is published on the Un-Project wiki but some un-projects have been published to the blog as well. My favourite so far is this one. ;-)


Look what's possible when we give kids an open ended (un)project and the tools to publish their work online for a wide audience.
