I’m getting really excited for the Building Learning Communities conference here in Boston next week. As I look through the program at the session descriptions I’m in awe of the people who will be there all week offering important and thought provoking sessions. Apple is also helping the ADE’s attend so I know that I’m going to reconnect with old friends and meet a bunch of new ones. We’re all staying at Hotel Indigo (thanks Apple!!) and I’m confident that as much learning will happen in the halls of the hotel late at night as will during the day in the sessions.

These are people whose sessions I plan on attending:

  • Marco Torres (movie making)
  • Liz Davis & Lisa Thumann (collective intelligence)
  • Marc Prensky (how technology changes teaching)

I’m really excited about the small size of the conference-compared to a huge national one-and think that it is going to be easier to connect with people and have really in-depth conversations about our work and how to carry ideas back to our institutions.
