What a bad start. I got up at 4:45 and we flew out of Wellington and circled Christchurch for 40 minutes before heading back. We got to Christchurch just in time for lunch.
The first breakout was good. Neil Stephenson from Calgary Science School talked about learning to teach in a technology rich school. He had good ideas about teachers collaborating to create inquiry topics that would be interesting and engaging. The key, in his opinion is to focus the inquiry on a specific, real, current issue. Ask what it's place is in the world.
He had good ideas about how to get teachers to improve and evaluate their practice. Some good rubric's on his blog: thinkinginmind
