Next week is the MLTI Summer Institute. The keynote speaker for the conference is Chris Lehmann. If you’re attending the conference and you’re not familiar with his work, please watch this video. This video has been around for almost a year now so many of you have probably seen it once. In that case, watch it again, it’s worth a second, third, or fourth viewing.

Here are some of things Chris Lehmann said that caught my attention.
1. “Technology needs to be like oxygen.”
2. “Good data costs a lot more than we want to spend. Good data is the work kids do every single day, it’s not the answers they get on a test.”
3. “We teach kids, not subjects.”
4. “You want to see what kids have learned, give them a project.”
5. “We have one thing left to teach and that is… wisdom.”
