The theme of the conference is 'connecting through educational technology' - this echoes the themes of a number of other recent conferences, many of which explore the idea of connected learning. My thoughts on this are still emerging, so please feel free to contribute your own thoughts in the comments box below. To be continued.

Students no longer passively absorb content, because they own personal digital devices, and they can use these to produce, organise, repurpose and share their own content. Co-production of knowledge is emerging as a new model for learning in the digital age. Students become teachers and teachers become students.

We have traversed several emerging ideas, including the use of virtual teaching assistants (chatbots), ultra-personalised learning and machine intelligence, but the most important component in education is still the human element. The future of education, in all sectors, will be a marriage of convenience between teachers and technology.

If you are immersed in technology mediated communication, there are no apparent barriers to membership of your community of practice. To me it resembles a global digital tribe. Whether or not we realise it, if we regularly use social media, we are members of the world wide digital tribe. It is your personal network.

In some ways, I argued, andragogy theory seems outmoded in the light of recent rapid developments in new teaching methods, learning resources and digital media. Both are highly applicable when we consider the advance of learning technologies and the deep pervasion of social media into many learning spaces, formal and informal.

The exchange then descended into: 'There's too much technology around' and, 'I don't know what the world is coming to.' In Alone Together (2011) Turkle implies that technology is distracting us from social interaction, and is ruining conversation: 'The relentless connection leads to a new solitude'. and I switched off at that point.
