Keynote Events

  • Riding the Curl of Innovation, with Jamie McKenzie

    Schools face tremendous opportunities along with substantial risks as new technologies promise new kinds of learning and impressive changes in student performance. How can we maximize our return on investment, back winners and avoid losers? Jamie McKenzie shares a dozen strategies to help teachers and administrators make discerning use of new technologies along with sustained use of classical technologies and learning strategies. He suggests ways to sort through the noise of conflicting marketing pitches and claims to focus in upon value, reliability and authenticity. The goal? To avoid what Shakespeare warned about 500 years ago - a technology rich program "Full of sound and fury signifying nothing." Read Jamie's article outlining his vision and strategies in the January/February issue of MultiMedia Schools.
