ldquohellipthe Global Education Conference community is organized around people rather than tech or content Although happiness is definitely part of the community the better description might be that the community is focused on lsquooptimizing for professional generosityrsquo

Professional generosity drives Twitter chats from edchat to kinderchat as well as community like Steversquos Classroom 20 Edmodo and most online educator communities It acts as the antithesis of the outcompete-the-world zero-sum message US educational system promotes at all levels Steve and Lucy have a bootstrapped community built for an lsquoinfinite runwayrsquo for teaching and learning rather than quick success or quick failure Although it may not seem like a community that will garner much attention from super angels Lucy and Steversquos 365247 ldquoanytime anywhererdquo global teaching and learning community is the right modelmdashscalable sustainable impactful and with a killer ROI if you want to wait a generation to measure itrdquo

ldquoEvery single moment for me has been magical It is almost impossible to pick one The presenters have all been wonderful but it is the discussions from the participants that make each session exciting as people bring their different view points to the presentation offer additional insights and information to the discussion and arrange to meet up (online) and collaborate together It is the personal global interaction and connections that make me stay awake all night (sometimes) or has me wake up at a crazy hour in the morning to connect with an educator from the other side of the world ldquo

EVERYDAY ACTS OF PROFESSIONAL GENEROSITY

ndashDonna Adams Romaacuten

ldquoWhat would happen if all teachers and educational leaders demonstrated Professional Generosity What if all school districts did What if all organizations and industries did I wonder where the tipping point would behellipin my own school in my district in my state in my profession in my countryhellipin our world We have the technology We have the trailblazers We have living breathing examples out there doing it I can easily do my part All it takes is a little Professional Generosity intention on the out-breathrdquo
