I went to the Apple Leadership Summit in Hong Kong and listened to some amazing presenters discuss the improtance of shifting education and bringing it into the 22nd century (I’m not writing 21st century anymore, because we should strive to be head of the game and not behind). John Couch, vice president of education for Apple, Tom Kelley, manager of IDEO, Marko Torres, and several other educators shared the stage to impress educational leaders that it is time to move or go the way of the T-Rex. It was a huge honor to present at a conference with such giant names in educationa and innovation. There were several ADEs from my 2008 class in Singapore, so it was a wonderful chance to catch up and check in with everyone.

Also the Phoenix Film Festival finished its first ever awards ceremony on April 30th in the PAC at Korea International School. Greg Israel and I would like to congratulate and thank all the students and teachers who were involved in the process. We’d also like to thank Apple, Korea for donating 9 iPod Nanos to the event and the KIS administration and PTO for ponying up the money for the other Nanos. We had 31 films from five countries and seven different schools. The winners list can be viewed on the Youtube channel as well as the awards ceremony.
