Today I am in a very wet and very windy Manila to attend the 2009 EARCOS Administrators' conference. I am currently participating in a workshop focused on how leaders can create a culture of learning in the 21st century. This is wonderful opportunity to engage in some face to face discussions and sharing of ideas with educational leaders from around the world - at my table I am working with Principals and School Heads from Korea, Cambodia, Beijing, and Singapore.
Our workshop presenter Chris Troy (www.christoy.net) is facilitating our discussion as we explore issues of change, refelction, and modeling within a context of teaching and learning in the 21st century. One very interesting notion is that 21st century teaching and learning is not reliant on technology, however having the skills and tools to effectively utilize the available technolgies has the potential to enhance and expand the learning experiences for our students.
I am very excited about the next few days and the opportunity to be challenged and inspired by colleagues from the east Asia region.
