Dr. Tim Tyson, in the closing conference presentation, challenged everyone to transform their teaching practice into what he describes as School 2.0:
- Authentically engaged learners
- Self-directed learning
- Project-driven instruction
- Independent problem-solvers
- Empowered by technology innovation
- Collaborative learning community
- Relevant

He asked his students, “What do you have to say that’s so important that everyone on earth needs to hear it?” Their responses, in the form of student-produced videos, exemplify the potential results of true educational reform and should serve as motivation for all of us:
