Many thanks to our presenters, delegates, and sponsors/partners, who helped make our 11th Canadian EdTech International Leadership Summit a deep learning experience. 

No worries if you missed the Summit! We're sharing key podcast highlights in this Special EdTech Leadership Summit issue of the MindShare Learning Report.

My Top 5 Summit Takeaways and a call to action below:

1. The future of learning is no longer restricted to a school building; the broader community is the school, with the teacher as an activator of learning
2. During these extraordinary times we need to embrace change and new and innovative modalities of personalized learning to continue to move systems forward beyond the pandemic. 
3. The 'Hollywood Squares’ of learning online doesn't cut it from a student/educator user experience. We need more immersive 'real life' pedagogically sound learning experiences.
4. The future is about interconnected, human networks powered by tech infused pedagogy being the driver. Nurture leadership at the grassroots as well as from the top with ongoing proactive multimedia communications; positivity and hope are essential ingredients.
5. A national task force on learning is vital to address key issues facing Canadian education: well-being, equity, life-long learning, connectivity and best practice pedagogical research. Email me if you’re interested in being part of the movement.

I will be adding my reflections to our Canadian EdTech Summit Leading & Learning Best Practices Playbook, along with delegates input. You as a member of our learning community are welcome to share your reflections on how you adapted to teaching and learning during ‘Covid Learning’ time.
