Re: The most tweeted remark from the 2010 NAIS annual conference...

People are still posting reflections to Twitter so keep looking for updates=
. I will also be posting additional reflections to the community blog for t=
hose who have attended in person or virtually. It would really be great to =
get reflections from individuals who attended live blogging sessions or clo=
sely followed the Twitter feed from a distance.

As the conference events have ended, I encourage those who attended in pers=
on as well as virtually to check out the Diigo site for the conference. If =
you are not a member of Diigo, you will want to join first. With all of the=
great interactions from the conference and the new resources and ideas, th=
is is now a great time to record your new knowledge in a way that is social=
(available to others), available anywhere (on the internet and not on only=
on our personal computers). In the NAISAC10 Diigo group, you can post your=
new resources, resources from your presentations etc. to the group. There =
is also a place to start discussions around these resources. This is a grea=
t opportunity to explore the power of social bookmarking as a resource. Whe=
n you sign up for the naisac10 diigo group, you have the option to receive =
a daily e-mail digest or to be notified each time a new resource is posted.=
I would suggest that you go with the daily digest.=20

Subject: The most tweeted remark from the 2010 NAIS annual conference...

... has to be a great quip by Pat Bassett in the session "The Power of
Transformation: Disrupting your Institution to Make it Relevant."

There are a number of versions out there of what Pat said, but they all are
close variations of the following:

"The death of education as we know it may lead to learning as we need it."

A live blog of the session by Jason Ramsden is available here:

(A huge thanks to Jason and others (http://bit.ly/d4Sz3K) for making the
conference come alive for virtual attendees!)

But back to Pat's interesting observation, which seemed to resonate so
strongly with the edtech folks.

I can imagine John Dewey smiling benevolently on hearing this statement. I
can also imagine many Heads having a somewhat different expression.

Curious what others think?
