Learning Impact 2018
A few immediate takeaways from the event this year:
- More discussion about issues of equity, security and student privacy.
- Competencies, Badges and Credentials!
- More collaboration between vendors and institutions. (Eg the Georgia DOE and PCG project for Total Learning Architecture)
For me personally, I actually understood most of what I saw and heard this year. This is the kind of working conference that is often missing at mass-market edtech conferences such as ISTE. This is all about the technology behind the scenes that makes everything else work. It’s where I end up with pages of notes and often more questions that lead to real learning. This year’s general questions/problems that I’ll be investigating are:
- How to do extensibility well
- Same language for competencies across specififications
- Studying the Security specifications
- Becoming more organized on Github for project work
- Studying more about data types and implications for CASE
