Gifted and Talented in the 21st Century

I just returned from the CAG/T conference in Denver.   So many ideas …

Joe Renzulli and Sally Reis were great keynotes.  Sally’s presentation on the impact of GT programs was truly motivational.  The question that keeps popping into my mind is how do we prepare this generation of GT students to achieve greatness in a world we can’t even envision yet.  What are the skills that GT students need to have to be successful in the world and truly make a difference.   

Ben Wilkoff offered a presentation on Academies of Discovery and integrating technology into the classroom.  It was a great presentation and offered so much to think about.  Check out his site http://academyofdiscovery.wikispaces.com  I’ve just added Ben to my RSS feed and can’t wait to learn more about how he teaches.   

Using technology with the gifted has amazing potential.  My head is buzzing with new ideas and new questions to ask.
