I just watched the K12 Online Conference 2008 Preconference Keynote “It Simply Isn’t the 20th Century Any More Is It?: So Why Would We Teach as Though It Was?” by Professor Stephen Heppell of England.
For me, the keynote was full of sound bites:
Golly Gosh-an addition for my class’s Wonderful Words collection
Usness-past the I and we and on to us
Content is not king.
Sense of audience-what the kids need for their work
Fellowship matters as much as leadership.
Rediscovering extended family-maybe not a sound bite, but ahhh
Death of education and dawn of learning-that says it all.

Love the way you did this blog post. Your last quote stood out to me also as I listened to Stephen. "Death of education and dawn of learning!" I like that!
