I think Dr. Noguera did a great job of not only highlighting what is wrong in many classrooms and schools, but also highlighting what is RIGHT. He talked about pedagogy, relationships, engagement, leadership, and so many things we need to focus on in our schools. He made the initial comment about Apple design but other than that he didn't talk about technology at all. I thought this was interesting. Certainly there are ways technology uses can and should play a part in whole-school educational reform efforts. Great ideas here though overall.

I was there and didn't remember seeing you. It was one of the best presentations and one of the worst PPT's I've ever seen. Just a few slides loaded with text, but absolutely secondary (if even that) to the great message, wisdom, and logic he shared. Wes, you had me worried for a second.
