Dual Shock

20 Lessons Learned at UnPlugd Its now been one month since 37 educators participated in the UnPlugd at Northern Edge Algonquin. While many have been challenged to put into words the experience of unplugging, Ill be sharing my perspective for the first time at the Learning 2.0 Conference in Shanghai on September 8, 2011. Although my script is not being made available at this time, I suspect that each participant at this event could augment this slidedeck with a personal narrative that answers the question: What really happened at UnPlugd? For my presentation, Ill be sharing: 20 Lessons Learned at UnPlug'd View more presentations from Rodd Lucier.

The once-embattled museum on Thursday offered a sneak peek to attendees of a South Bethlehem historic Society convention on historic upkeep. nearly twenty years within the making, the museum is slated to open by Musikfest this August. The museum plans to announce an professional opening date within the near future, government Director Amy Hollander spoke of. every now and then in contemporary years, Thursdays tour seemed not likely. The museum became mired in a Northampton County grand jury and state legal professional normal investigation that introduced sluggish growth to a standstill.

20 Lessons Learned at UnPlugd LIVE Last evening, I made my first attempt at telling the story of UnPlugd in front of a live audience.

10 Things I Learned at TEDxOntarioEd As a member of the team that brought TEDxOntarioEd to life, Ive been privileged to follow the reflections of participants throughout the weekend.
