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.

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