Project Based Learning

I’ve been back in the United States for a few weeks now, still reeling in the memories of the week in Dublin, Ireland, followed by two weeks in England. Edtech 2009 was my first international conference presentation, and I was welcomed with such enthusiasm and friendliness that I feel like I visited family instead of educational technology professionals. My paper on project-based learning was accepted into the research track, after it went through a review to which I responded with clarifications. The National College of Ireland, just a block off the River Liffy, hosted the technology event. Keynotes were from the Open University (Niall Sclater) and Educause (Richard Hatch). People like Leo Casey, Paul Gormley, Catherine Bruen, Eugene O’Loughlin, all dedicated education/technology professionals made me quite at home on the urban campus. Here is a conference review from ILTA.
