Thanks to everyone who came to my sessions today at the MassCUE conference. Whether you are looking for more materials, or curious about what I talked about, keep reading.
The Future of Learning
I kicked off the morning with this session. Admittedly, I tried this topic at least year’s Leading Future Learning Conference but suffered a total failure. Despite both analog and digital time telling technology at my disposal, I was incapable of keeping track of 40 minutes and only got through half of the plan. Today, however, I had both technologies as well as an audience volunteer to help me out.
Over a year ago, I started working on this concept via an Edutopia post. However, I enjoyed taking the idea, fleshing it out a bit, and then building in a few hands-on challenges. Besides, as David Weinberger says in the title of his book, “The smartest person in the room is the room.”

Book List from the Talk
During the conversation, I mentioned a few books and then said that I should provide a book list next time. Well, why wait. Here are all of the books that I remember mentioning.
- David Weinberger, Too Big to Know
- David Tyack & Larry Cuban, Tinkering Toward Utopia
- Dr. Milton Chen, Education Nation
- Howard Gardner & Katie Davis, The App Generation
The Power of Screentime
This afternoon, I had a fantastic conversation with a small group about finding the balance of screentime. Much like the first talk, I based this one off of a different Edutopia post. I truly enjoyed the insights and comments from the group.
