The 2011 Global Education Conference has just wrapped up and I’m already looking forward to next years conference. While I was only able to take part in 8 sessions over the course of the week I know I’ll be going back and viewing archived versions of some of the ones I missed. Being global there were sessions at 2 and 3 am and while I am motivated….knowing I could watch them afterwards made staying in bed a bit easier.
Of the sessions I attended five were outstanding and inspiring, two were ok and one was just disappointing. Pretty high ratio of outstanding to average, in my opinion and expereince with conferences. I don’t want to go into great detail about which ones I considered excellent, which were average…there’s no real benefit to be gained there. But I did want to capture some of the links that came up as a result of these sessions. So without too much fanfare, here’s a link list:
