Mindshare Learn summit in Toronto
Posted by David Wees on Nov 15, 2011
Yesterday I participated in the Mindshare Learning summit that happened at York University in Toronto. With only one exception, the talks and panels were very interesting, and I was pleased that almost no one said, "we need to prepare students for the needs of industry."
Learning specialist in technology
Posted by David Wees on Jun 15, 2010
This morning I had a great discussion with the director of the IB Primary Years Program at my school. We talked about my role for next year, and what ways I could help his staff become more comfortable using technology. My title for next year is "Learning specialist: Technology" which is pretty broadly defined, and I have the luxury of writing my job description. I may never again get this kind of opportunity to define my own role, so I'm making sure I do it right by involving the primary stake-holders in the process.
