The morning began with a great keynote talk with Jim Moulton (featured above). He gave us plenty to mull over as we individually work on implementing technology in our student’s learning.

One quote that is sticking with me was about the fact that “schools are not for learning they are for culturalization of students”. There are much cheaper and more effective ways to learn about a topic but here we are with a system that “did school so well” that it is now difficult for us to break the mould and try something different.

I then had an introduction to MaineExplorer program which is on the new MLTI image. It seems like a great product with an attentive balance of hands on and computer based activities.
.
Fun to try!
