You realise at conferences like this that thinkers, academics and researchers approach things very differently...

I feel that I have been doing this for ever and I know that we can't make people learn and that engaging and connecting with our young learners is the key to our success. Perhaps we also need to better understand the contradictions in the system and the fact that, however hard we work at it, school is an outdated learning platform and that we need to completely transform our learning places bearing in mind the power of technology to empower and transform learning for our young people. We need to reframe learning for a conceptual age developing creativity, communication, enterprise, flexibility, teamwork, design.
