What a great idea! The final session of the Saturday EdubloggerCon at ISTE11 was introduced by Steve Hargadon as "your opportunity to hear in 3 minutes what some great speakers talk about in all the keynotes you miss!" Or something to that effect.
So for an hour we were treated to some inspiring keynotes in successive 3 minute bites - perfect! Snippets from these are below.
If there was one speaker we wanted to put on a plane back to New Zealand, it was Kevin Honeycutt, http://kevinhoneycutt.org/
Some quotes from his 3 minutes...
Our kids have digital limbs
We cannot amputate those digital limbs
We have to learn to use them
Give kids rigor and make them quote sources. You don't cite your sources I delete your post
'Where might YOU fit as a teacher'. Not "where does the tool fit'?

Earlier in the web 2 smackdown he demonstrated with his iPad and a cardboard guitar.
It was so much fun we had to track him down afterwards and get our own demo....

Education technology is not about stuff
Education technology is not about stuff
From his website about this keynote:
Come to a session that focuses on ten amazing web tools to make learning more captivating and exciting! We begin with a memorial for the term "web 2.0" and move on to explore tools that will bring new life into the classroom. The web tools focused on will reach across all subject areas and can easily be scaffolded for different age groups or student abilities.

13. Bernajean's Spotlight I-imagine: Waking Up a Generation for Greatness
From her website:
Calling all educators to illuminate students' sense of identity and
purpose through exploring, mining understanding and imagining taking
their place in the world. The I-imagine project creating 3-4 min vision
videos is grounded in new research for inspiring hope, joy and action in
students discovering and activating their own life-goals - living in
the truth that their lives and talents matter to the world. Narrative
story is one of the oldest and most proven tools for motivating
individuals to engage in change, mobilized by inspired hope while
activating positive actions NOW. Finding purpose and passion are the
hallmarks of a life that matters, a life worth living. They are also the
source of joy and happiness. The greatest gift parents and teachers can
give their children is to help them discover, nourish and act on this
truth NOW. Participants will explore the possibilities, research and
process and positive impact when students create multimedia visions via
docudrama stories AS IF their future life is NOW.
This sounded to be along the lines of videotaped self-modeling as defined by Dr. Peter Dowrick of The University of Hawaii ie where he uses carefully planned and edited positive self-images of behaviour on video.

Leadership is the key to change
If leaders don't get it it's not going to happen
- Perspective -why are they here
- Practice. It's about who you are, what your practices are
- Pedagogy. Know and define what your pedagogy is
It was great to see you at Edubloggercon. So glad you could attend. Hope you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I agree that Kevin is awesome!
Woah sounds awesome, so many cool ideas flying around in the convention centre. I wonder how Kevin Honeycutt can come to New Zealand to speak?
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Philly!
@Scott - thanks very much for your inspiration (again). That T Shirt was amazing too :) Hope we see you back in NZ real soon and you spend more time in the North Island.
ReplyDelete@teacher trainee ISTE truly is a fabulous conference to attend, as you say, with so many cool ideas flying around in the same space and people to meet and learn from. Kevin would come if someone found the $$ to bring him out :)
Sounds like you packed a lot in as always even if you were incapacitated! I know that CORE are always on the look out for good presenters so I've flicked this post on. You never know!
ReplyDelete@suzie There were some great presentations that kiwi audiences would appreciate for sure. Also, I think we could replicate the idea and do the 3 minute synopsis thing form a number of our national presenters - kinda like a job fair :)
