This year, I decided to try my hand at facilitating a conversation along with Dr. Spike Cook and Dana Sirotiak. Together with our amazing group, we discussed and redefined the meaning of disruptive and sustained technology and the impact they have on education. What a privilege to be a part of such an innovative discussion!
Educon. Wow! Is there any other educational conference like it? This is my second year, and I was once again profoundly impacted in my pedagogy and practice. I left the conference feeling invigorated- excited once again to be part of this incredible profession. This year, I decided to try my hand at facilitating a conversation along with Dr. Spike Cook and Dana Sirotiak. Together with our amazing group, we discussed and redefined the meaning of disruptive and sustained technology and the impact they have on education. What a privilege to be a part of such an innovative discussion! It is incredible to me that educators from around the world travel to this two-day weekend event. The people who do are intelligent, innovative, and articulate educators who are passionate about educational reform. I love to see the change on newcomers faces when they realize that this isn't just another education conference. This is intellectual conversations; high-participation sessions; educators working towards real educational change. This is educon.
