Conference

The conference coninued with some great stuff. Howard Gardner with a wonderful new study on good work and also listening to Edward de Bono was great. David Perkins still the highlight.

I ended poorly. A panel discussion on IT in education. The first person said "IT is just a tool". Educationalists must realise it is "the tool!" It has the capacity to transform education (and thinking) and to treat it as just a tool means we in education will be left behind. IT has transformed medicine and commerce and is now changing the way buildings are designed and built.

It is important that is is not just another tool. If world leaders in the field of education see IT as this then the task to change our perceptions is hugely challenging.

Spending a few days in Stockholm before off to London. Stockholm is a wonderful place. Everyone needs to visit here. Don't come in mid-summer as half the place is closed.
