Right, so, I am giving the opening speech at this conference at the end of July…
…due to this piece that was published in Ed Week…
…and also due in no small part to the amazing Bill Ferriter, who was also invited but had school commitments, so I’m taking this on for both of us (yikes!)…
…and if you’re interested in any intersection of these three topics, come check it out. I’m taking my now-established technology-is-awesome-in-some-ways-and-possibly-really-not-in-others-and-we-need-to-think-about-that tack.
You can attend virtually as well as in person (see below). Drop me a line if you’re local to Hyde Park or the Hudson Valley. I’d love to meet you.
UPDATE: Go to this link to find out how to attend virtually.

Hey Pal,
Be sure to send me directions about how to participate virtually!
Your thinking challenges me more than anyone on this issue.
You rule,
Bill

Will do. Getting that info now. Have also edited the post to rectify the grievous omission of your part in all this; I am so sorry. You’re getting a big plug in the talk as well.

Dina — we are so excited to be drawing you back to your childhood Hudson Valley stomping grounds. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about when social meida and technology enhance place-based education and when we might be better off without it.

Hi Dina,
Looking forward to listening to your keynote at the institute. I just finished publishing a blog post on how to attend the conference virtually:

I’m sure you’ll have something to write about later, too! See you in a few days. -kk
