The broad cross section of participants at WISE 2009 fascinated me. I have never shared a face to face event with such a global register.
During a quieter moment in the conference I made a Wordle of the job titles of all of the delegates.
I think it makes for an interesting observation of what groups, organisations and countries that were represented. Not all stakeholders were present, so not all of the views needed for such a wide debate on education were contributed.
In my opinion WISE 2010 needs to have a clear involvement of administration, parents and most of all students of every age group. We need to see the word “pupil” leaping out strongly from the next Wordle I do.
