For all of the experts and scholars and pundits who were staking out a part of the conversation about educational reform, I couldn’t help leaving there wondering how many of them really have a sense of the changes that are afoot here
-
The governors, the state superintendents, the consultants…from none of them did I get the sense that they could give a great response to a request to model their uses of technology to teach and learn effectively, especially in the context of networks
-
when I go to an education conference with 6,000 attendees and virtually no Internet access where almost no one who is presenting is modeling anything close to great pedagogy with technology
-
shouldn’t I be at least getting some sense that the people who are making the decisions understand on some level what we here are jammering about every day, the transformation that’s occurring, the amazing potentials of this?
-
how in god’s name can we talk seriously about 21st Century skills for kids if we’re not talking 21st Century skills for educators first?
-
Sure, there were mentions of upgrading teacher preparation programs and giving teachers additional time in the school day to collaborate, etc. But the URGENCY was all around the kids. Shouldn’t the URGENCY be all about the teachers right now?
-
few if any of these folks had the network creds to be “trusted.”
-
these days, if you’re not doing at least a little bit of social, networked learning and publishing that I can tap into and track and engage with, I’m just not as inclined to buy in when you’re talking about reforming education with or without technology

The more I listened, the less I heard in terms of how we make the teaching profession as a whole even capable of teaching these “skills” to kids.

Chris ProutShould we focus our energy on creating 21st century students or 21st century teachers? Which should come first? Will and many other believe teachers need to be first. What do you think?

Mark AhlnessWill, your part here about tech conferences really hit a nerve with me. Your experience was spot on with what I just experienced at a regional conference. Except there was one bright spot - this pretty engaging guy named Wesley…
It’s time to total -

I looked up a whole bunch of the names of the presenters and I could only find a handful that have any real Read/Write Web footprint that would allow me to consider them to be a part of my network. And worse, it was painfully obvious by their death by PowerPoint presentation styles that their own adoption of technology as a communication tool not to mention a networked learning tool left a great deal to be desired. The governors, the state superintendents, the consultants…from none of them did I get the sense that they could give a great response to a request to model their uses of technology to teach and learn effectively, especially in the context of networks.

capable of teaching these “skills” to kids. Sure, there were mentions
