Following the IB Academic Division reflection phase of the Peterson Symposium in Cardiff today, which was extremely interesting and thought provoking there was time to stroll around and enjoy the cosmopolitan city that is modern day Cardiff. You can see the view out from the link between St David's Centre I and II above which is my image of the day. In Cardiff today you not only hear the beautiful lilting language that is Welsh itself, but Spanish, French and Portuguese amongst other languages drift on the breeze.

News on the Symposium will appear on the blog which has been created specifically as a means of informing the wider IB community.

Chris Dede and Nancy Law( above) present on using emergent technologies in education at Peterson Symposium in Cardiff. .....virtually from Harvard and Hong Kong respectively due to the ash cloud which prevented so many flights from around the world into the UK last week.

The two keynotes certainly helped to focus minds not only on 'emergent technologies' but also and more importantly on research into its use in an education setting.
