Today's keynote was done by Professor Stephen Heppell. There were a few website that were mentioned that I think it definitely be beneficial as resources for the classroom. One being Teachers.tv. It is a site that in many ways is similar to teachertube by putting many classroom appropriate videos available online. Another thing that was just mentioned in passing really was 3D printers. I have heard a few things about them but have never looked at that too much. They really can be quite amazing. Here is a video demonstrating one. Some other unique and interesting ideas that were presented were:
The use of Nintendo DS's and Brain Age in class
Closing staff rooms in favor of a cafe type room for both students and faculty
Going shoeless in class, "You take your shoe's off at home why not in school"
Having students plan professional developments
