Convene, connect, transform... with NECC's keynote thought leaders
ISTE's 2008 keynote platform will provide multiple perspectives on the value of 21st-Century collaboration and communication. ISTE leadership, featured awards, and association business will precede each keynote session's primary speaker/s.
James Surowiecki, Opening Keynote
Sunday, June 29, 5:45–7 pm, Convention Center 
Author, journalist, and historian James Surowiecki kicks off NECC with his perspective on The Wisdom of Crowds and the ways in which a diverse collection of independently deciding individuals is likely to make certain types of decisions and predictions better than individuals or even experts.
In an age when collaborative tools and media are readily available, educators at all levels will benefit from hearing how skilled application of diversity, independence, decentralization, and aggregation can be leveraged in education settings to arrive at transformative solutions.
