NPR’s Robert Siegel To Moderate the Oxford-style Debate at NECC 2009
Today ISTE announced that Robert Siegel of NPR will moderate the Oxford-style debate taking place at NECC 2009 on Tuesday June 30th. Some of Robert Seigel’s most notable roles were on NPR’s All Things Considered and Talk of The Nation. The topic of the debate will be, “Bricks and Mortar Schools are Detrimental to the Future of Education.”
This very thought provoking topic is part of an already fervent global conversation that grows in intensity everyday. Expect this debate to be tremendously valuable to all of us attending NECC 2009 as it will probably influence the way you view the future of your career in education. The actual panelists are due to be announced soon so check back for a follow up to this post and find out who will be spearheading this important debate.

I’m a strong advocate of incorporating Twenty First Century learning tools into the teaching and learning process. We simply can’t ask students to “power down” when they go into the classroom. But, the concept of brick and mortar schools being detrimental to the future of education is absurd.

Be sure to add Dr. Gary Stager (http://stager.org) to the panel. Dr. Stager’s work over the past 25+ years has made him not only a leader in the educational technology community, but the learning community as a whole. Many educators in your ISTE community support Dr. Stager’s participation in this debate and his voice should not be ignored.
