I am definitely drinking the so called "kook-aid" and have for years in the viewing of  mobile learning.  I would like to know how this will be modeled in order for teachers to see how they can evolve teaching methods.  The six key steps were:1. Personalized Learning 2. Competency 3.Common Sills currency 4.Feed back in near-rear time 5.Truly Mobile Learning 6.Open Education.

It was very refreshing to hear from Mr. Culatta about the changes taking place within the United States.  Changes are being implemented so that "EVERY" student can reach mastery.  This will take place with some of the following outline notes included in this body of information regarding the sessions from this morning.
