The keynote- my notes

Sir Ken Robinson says he is not a specialist in technology.
Education one of the hottest topics in public policy.
President Obama's plan should have been: "we plan to leave millions of children behind"
Humanity is based on diversity but the education system is based on compliance and conformity. We can't afford not to personalize education. What does is take to truly engage students in their own-learning?
You're out of the fray if your not tweeting today.
If we know anything about children it is that they are not standardized.

Mayim Bialik: " Wow, this is like Comicon, but with less chewbacca and bikinis......... If technology is used appropriately it can optimize learning".
Panel discussion: Sir Ken: finding things you are naturally good at is extremely important. If you love something you are good at  you never have to work again! "
Mark prensky: " If there is something you don't like, for gods sake don't get good at it!"
