It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare an impromptu speech.

I'm writing a speech for this conference, where I'll be appearing with these people. It's impressive company and I hope to start the day well (I go on at 8:30 A.M.). Here's my outline so far:
- My journey from the classroom (as a student) to the classroom (as a teacher)
- The mysteries of learning & consciousness
- Intellectual freedom, exploratory play, and learning in the wild
- My role: from anthropologist to hacker
- Information
Age zeitgeist-- context [market dynamics, politics, Common Core] and
how networked awareness and community have amplified and accelerated
Open Source Learning
- Brief history of OSL and ongoing evolution (with examples from courses, blogs, student work)
- Where I thought it would lead
- Where it has led/is leading
- [Here's where I turn the screen/s off]
- The value of interpersonal communication
- Implications for individuals, institutions, communities, and economies
- Announcing the first Open Source Learning campuses and school district
- Call to action: how to form an Open Source Learning community, become an Open Source Learning adviser/partner, & support Open Source Learning around the world
I hope it went well, and I can't wait to see this. Hopefully it is recorded.
