My four main learnings today came from
- Keynote speaker ( Joram Harpez) - that we must choose an educational ideology. Must we? I am still not sure. Of course the individuation was my choice, but I am not sure that socialisation and acculturation cannot be integrated into the model as well. I might have to read more!
- How do we learn? Mark Treadwell presenting. Revisiting his work was a real treat for me. Must read more!
- Google Fest a group collaboration on SAMR then a grand slam. Fun. Too many people.
- Keynote speaker. (Adam Lefstein) Enjoyable look at professional discourse and conversations. Great advice but not sure about the good professional discourse from Israel shown as an example. I thought the principal lacked vision in his conversation. I also thought his approach was all wrong - it was quite "superior" and not collegial or collaborative in tone. The conversation was about the "what" and "how", not the "why". Perhaps I need to read more.
Big picture learning: the over-whelming number of participants are primary school teachers - do we need a secondary school focus or stream for the next Ulearn? What is happening in secondary schools? Can we have a 50:50 turn out next year on primary to secondary?
Yes, I will give feedback.
The meeting up with people was great. Awesome catchup with friends and foes.
