Live 21st century learning post.

Amazing possibilities in this world nowadays. Live blogging from the 21st century learning conference at Hong Kong International School.
I’m at a forum, discussing the role of a possible digital technology coach in schools.
It is a bit funny to attend a conference like this, with over 500 teachers from nearly all over gets together to discus and reflect on the 21st century learning. Every subject or presentation is nearly about technology and how to use it. Everybody has his or her own laptop, and all presentations has an underlying soundtrack of keyboard tipping or what ever people are doing sitting around with the laptop lid open. Myself included.
As I wrote in the recent post, I also had to do a presentation, or in fact it was a workshop, but any way, my own presentation went well and I didn’t mind people having their laptop open and switched on, as I am sure they just took notes and wrote all my “fantastic golden” points for later use. So you might guess that I’m a bit – or aid in a better way- a lot more relaxed and excited, as this has been my first public or official presentation -outside my own school- I’ve done since coming to Hong Kong, and I can’t stop thinking about this, that again here in Hong Kong, I am doing the same thing, as I did in Dresden, now it is just in English, but again; I always have to educate Teachers.
