I had the pleasure last week of presenting to Mohawk College (they recently switched to D2L and the conference was focused on transitioning to online and blended learning). Then, a short hop over to uOttawa for a presentation on emerging technologies and social learning. After a brief trip home (to watch my youngest daughter play in a hockey tournament), I’m back in Ottawa for Canadian Network for Innovation in Education’s annual conference. I used Prezi for the keynote. The topic: A Firm Foundation (references in delicious). My main assertion: society builds institutions in response to the information needs and habits of an era. An understanding of the future of education requires an exploration of what is being done with information (instead of looking at “new learners” or “web 2.0″).
