NMC Summer Conference Daily Digest

All Things Joichi Ito

We all spent a blissful couple hours this morning with MIT Media Lab Director, Joichi Ito. From watching all the reactions around the room, it was very clear how engaged everyone was. Joichi was spectacular and flipped common notions about learning on their heads. Learning over education. Agility over strength. By now, it has all been well-documented by hundreds of your tweets.

But, we spent 6 extra, poignant minutes with Joichi to pick his brain and believe us, you don't want to miss this exclusive NMC interview!

For those of you who want to revisit the amazing keynote "Innovations in Open Networks," here is the full shebang! You'll definitely want to share this with your colleagues who couldn't make the conference. You're welcome!
