#sp4ed major event changing education

• high speed video capable internet will change education because it makes it possible to have students geographically separated communicating in real time. As humans I think we have a basic need to network and through connecting with others get a feeling that we are adding value to our lives and the lives of others.
• We can make the future happen because as educators we are the gatekeepers and - if we want -innovators who encourage and foster learning in others ( not necessarily students only). We have a fundamental desire to share our knowledge rather than hoard our knowledge (I think we should!!), for this group as you are part of the open education movement I suspect this would be the case.
