This mornings keynote was presented by Daneen Frazier Bowen and she followed it up with a breakout session on the characteristics of our digital-centric students (I hereby refuse to use the ‘N’-word). Her keynote was very interesting, as she slipped between different personas - she is really a very talented actor. Her characters represented different types of typical students and sent a powerful message about the disconnect that often exists between teacher and students. We often make suppositions about how students are interacting with their technologies and perhaps we need to create a dialog with students to better make decisions about how the technology is used.
