As usual, my conference was full of fun, excitement, and learning - so much so that I forgot to take proper notes! I did not, however, forget to post on Twitter up through the end of Tuesday's keynote, so rather than reinvent the wheel I thought I'd copy/paste the highlights here.
The keynote itself was presented by Chris Lehmann (Website) (Twitter), principal of the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, PA.

- It occurs to me that I've seen no fewer than 3 #MSET keynoters advocate for cell phones in school but so many schools still ban them.
