The topic I'd like to see represented in a keynote at ISTE 2010 is...

The body is the message: Towards post-cognitive, embodied educational technology

The proposals thus far are looking for the magic bullet for effective technology in education: super principals, web 2.0, video games, etc. In the meantime none of us ever discuss our philosophy of technology, our philosophy of teaching, or what it really means to learn and understand (in school and elsewhere). In practice and implicitly, our philosophy of all three is behaviorist, out of date, and incorrect. This would be a theoretical talk/panel bringing the field up to date on what has been going on in philosophy, psychology, and computing in the past 20 years: including embodied cognition, phenomenology, enactive interfaces, and shooting to break us out of the box that has confined our instructional practices for a hundred years.
