||= Meet Our Keynote Speaker: Darren Kuropatwa **__Keynote: Tales of Learning and The Gift of Footprints__** Why does digital learning matter? In a society that is increasingly technophilic what are the new literacies we need to be aware of for our own learning and that of our students? How does this impact the way we think about and teach our children to become empowered and empathetic responsible citizens? Answers to these questions and more will be shared through a series of powerful tales of learning.
