These slides came from a presentation I did at OAtS in Portland, OR on October 18, 2013. The presentation is based on discussions (presentations) from Will Richardson and Alec Couros. I have cited specifically which slides I've borrowed from Will. The desire to present on this subject matter came from a session that Will led at ISTE13 which can be found here: http://www.slideshare.net/willrich45/iste13 While none of these messages or ideas are my own or originate from my own brain, I find them to be extremely important and part of a larger discussion we all should be having around change and reform in education. I appreciate Will's willingness to share his ideas and slides so we can continue this discussion all across the country.
