#cltauc thank you, Alec, for a creative, challenging, and moving keynote. you walk the talk. - Catherine Cronin on Twitter
I loved the illustration that between humanity, technology and pedagogy there’s a sweet spot.
“[T]he entire lecture was very interesting and engaging however my favorite part was when he mentioned another use of the Internet and learning, when he gave the example of senior homes in the United States that get to teach Chinese students through Skyping. We got to see several video calls between seniors and their homes whilst they are teaching students in China and these students come from places all over the world. It was very nice and sweet to see how the use of technology can be used so beautifully as to connect someone who wants to do something to keep themselves busy, with someone who needs to learn English in a relatively cheap way.”
"I thought Alec Couros was a great speaker"

“The lecture was the most interesting lecture I have ever attended this is because its content was realistic”

“I believe that having courses that expose us to new ways of learning and connects us with new cultures and people are more beneficial than traditional ones.”
