Alan November updated some of his previous talks with a positive view of children's engagement with the Internet. He provided excellent examples of how pupils' work could end up on e.g. School tube, and You Tube.
I again held key talks with representatives of international school leader associations considering joining the International Confederation of Principals (which NAHT is a Member of), including the NAESP who are carefully developing their position. ICP are extending Observer status to both NAESP (Elementary and NASSP (Secondary School Principals) for it's Council meeting at the 2011 ICP Convention in August in Toronto.
ICP is engaged in a reform programme designed to improve it's engagement with national associations and to share good practice throughout the world. Key players include Ontario Principals Council, and IPPN in Ireland.
A 'Plan B' should this fail to thrive is the possible creation of a World Forum charging individual schools being developed by Ton Duif in the Netherlands.
Toronto will be an important juncture for these discussions.
