8:30 AM - 9:00 Registration (arrive early to test wireless access on your laptop) 9:00 AM - 10:30 Beyond Cut-and-Paste:
In this presentation Jamie outlines the prime strategies suggested in his new book by the same title. He begins with the need to replace topical research with inquiry that matters, challenges that require students to make answers instead of just finding them. He stresses the value of original thinking and proposes ways to grow the synthesis skills of students so they are capable of making up their own minds and inventing smart solutions to irksome issues and problems.
