During March, I travelled to the States to present at, and take part in, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) Annual Conference.  This was a 4-day event, held at the OCCC in Orlando.

In this special Booruch podcast, I reflect on: aspects of the organisation of the conference; the use of ICT by attendees during sessions; and possible implications for UK conferences such as The Scottish Learning Festival and BETT.

Links from this episode are here.

My presentation notes (including links) are available here.  The audio is available as a paid-for download from ASCD here.
