#NCCE2016 First Report

It’s lunch time in Seattle at NCCE 2016 and I have a little time to share my experiences. So far I’ve attended three presentations and they have all been excellent. I’ve been participating in the Google Summit, which is almost like a conference within a conference. It began with a keynote by Holly Clark who spoke on the the topic “Disrupt Education.” She spoke of how Netflix disrupted the video rental world first with sending DVDs to homes with no late fees, then by streaming movies to homes, and finally by creating original programming. She then talked of the need for education to be disruptive, to find the adjacent possible in classrooms,

Later I’ll write about the other two workshops I’ve attended:

• New Google Forms and Add-Ons For Assessment by Janice Weesner
• Flipping Your Professional Development with Google Communities by Kristina Wambold

Now, though, I need to go, as Jason Neiffer is about to present “Mastering Google’s Privacy Settings.”
