Final Keynote-Wez Fryer

Wez Fryer had the very hard job of being the final keynote speaker. 

With many of the delegates having already left, and some leaving during the address to meet planes etc, Wez managed to keep us all interested and sum up the whole thinking and pedagogy of the conference with one word – connectivism. 

He also challenged us to encourage our class to really show us what they can do, rather than what they know.  Once again, another educator suggesting that especially now, the skills of critical thinking, literacy (and by this I mean -reading, writing, maths, digital), and collaboration are the things we should be focusing on over knowledge/facts.
