Gordon’s new book is titled ‘Unlimited‘ – free coies given out at the conference.

Drydon thinks that the digital revolution needs to be simplified. Innovators, adopters (15% of population) need ways to jump the chasm and reach the ‘conservatives’ (70%). The remaining 15% are the laggards… ie remove the obstacles in the way of the adopters!

Gordon is a firm advocate of the PYP as a curriculum model.  He is going to speak at Kristin when the school hostes an IB conference in 2010, and has worked with Claudi Wysocki when she was a principal at the school.

Keys to unlocking the learning revolution:

1. It’s personal: For everyone, everywhere, any time, in your own way.

2. It’s interactive: Easy-to-use.

3. It’s global: The Web owned by no one, but used by almost everyone

4. It’s instant: Just in time, when you need it, as you need it

5. It’s mainly free: Or nearly free

6. It’s easily shared: The new world of collaborative networks

7. It’s co-creative
