Final thoughts from Tampa

As I depart the AASA conference I had a couple of final thoughts.
1) The diversity of thought at this conference was remarkable. It really helps to hear from not only our US peers but also from peers from England, China, Africa, and folks like Chris Whittle who are working with schools all over the world.
2)AASA is high tech. From the digital library, the "green" ideas, the blogging, etc. I am convinced that AASA is committed to staying on the cutting edge with regard to 21st century technology.
3) After 37 years in education, I am more excited about the future and the challenges we face. We know so much more than we did 40 years ago about the human brain and school reform.
4) AASA Conference on Education is a "don't miss" conference. See you in San Francisco in 2009. Don't forget to send in those requests for presentation.
