  • Alec Couros keynote: Networked Learning & Why It Matters
    • Social networking services like Facebook and Twitter have exploded on the scene and millions of teens and adults alike have embraced these technologies in their personal and professional lives. Yet, are social networks just hype? Should educational institutions ignore this 'noise' and focus on doing the business of education? Or, do social networks present a unique opportunity to reform our educational systems by allowing us to connect educators and students through personal learning networks? Find out how thousands of educators embrace these informal networks daily and understand how our networked future is key to the reform of teaching & learning.
