Passing notes and cheat­ing on tests have gone high-tech.

And unless you’re armed with the lat­est infor­ma­tion about how your stu­dents are using social media, you may find your­self with a lot of catch­ing up to do.

In this provoca­tive and enter­tain­ing keynote pre­sen­ta­tion, Tod Maffin explains how teach­ers and school admin­is­tra­tors can har­ness the tools of today’s social net­work­ing web sites to pro­mote deeper learning.

You’ll hear edu­ca­tional tech­nol­ogy thought-leaders via video­cam, and dis­cover how the very mul­ti­me­dia tech­nol­ogy that sur­rounds our stu­dents daily is slowly and sys­tem­at­i­cally harm­ing their abil­ity to learn. (60–90 min).
