David Truss (10/09): Hi Kim, David...

Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, and the Future of Education

on always learning from 23 weeks ago

Hi Kim,

David Warlick’s Keynote for the K12 Online in ‘06 was a huge influence in my thinking and so has your blog since then too.

Being new to China and the expat life, I have written a few posts recently about some lessons that come from the experience. I’ll share two of them here:

Destinations and Dispositions

My disposition is something that I can choose. My choice will make this journey everything I hope it can be, and more!

and
Bubble Wrap

We will all have different comfort zones, but if we don’t start popping some bubble wrap, we are not really protecting our kids like we think we are.

I’m really looking forward to your keynote!
Dave.
