I’m sure they do fine work but I felt it was more a like sales pitch.

Our Students * Our World

3 key points from presentation

• unpredictable future
• info-savvy students
• new information landscape

That's probably an odd title from someone blogging a 5 day tech conference, but I'm happy to say it's an oft-repeated theme here.

Students (and teachers) need a clear vision of their message and audience before they even touch a piece of equipment. If you are asking them to work at the upper levels of Bloom's (and if you're not, why aren't you?), they must have a solid understanding of CONTENT, first.

That's why, when teachers complain that technology projects take too long, I point out that

1. most of that time is spent learning the content area
2. creating a well-constructed video, podcast or whatever almost guarantees students have made that learning personal, deeply internalizing the information.

Thus, 70% of the time should be spent on learning, and only 30% on the technology. And even then only if the technology enhances the learning.
