I had a day of speaking to a number of really positive people yesterday about the possibility of running a very large international conference focussing on 21st Century Learning here in Hong Kong next October. I am feeling very positive about this now. I am certain that we can get vendors, teachers and kids on board. The big issue, as always in Hong Kong is school administrators. If we had just one Chris Lehmann style of school leader in Hong Kong we would have no issues whatsoever! Have a look at this video clip of him at a recent conference called Ignite Philly.

You can see the passion about relevancy of the education system coming through here. You are not going to see this from the educational leadership community in Hong Kong I am afraid. We may, however, be able to get a little bit of shift from one or two of them if we can drag them along to the party. Here’s hoping!

BTW, I loved the format of the presentation that Chris did here. He speaks of it in this blog posting. This is also the link to follow if you want to see his slides. Well worth a visit.!
