Keith Kruger Keynote from CoSN
Talking on the Macro level
Research from around the World.
Some of it is pretty damming! More recent study (e.g. Becta 2007) indicates there are difference with specific support.
Cisco study suggested that we promised too much for technology. Educator/Student Disconnect. Schools are becocming less representative of the world outside.
Lots of evidence that technology has not had a great impact on learning. He used a business model where it did look as if the money may have been wasted. The reality of how people actually work or what they did at work was what had changed.
He thinks we are later than business we need to think about transformative practices in education
We have to have vision and Leadership
We have to rethink pedagogy.
We have to think about what schools are for and only when we change this will we see transformation via technology.
He then spoke about the USA ed structure and presidential race …
Last point: How to Engage Educational Leaders?
