Hi Maha – it’s a really nice idea. But I think others have articulated some of the concerns – if it was just a normal session then you could play more but a keynote comes with a set of expectations and plus it’s a big audience. So interaction is always difficult, plus we really want to hear your voice.
But challenging our expectations of a keynote is also good. I did a session at OpenEd once where I had 20 topics under open scholarship but only time to talk about 5. I got my daughter to go into the audience and get ppl to select a card, then I’d talk about that. It worked really well & lots of ppl said it was their favourite session. I tried the same thing a fortnight later (without daughter), and it bombed big time. The audience wanted a straightforward talk.
So maybe you could do something similar where you have your main thread and we get to select one or two options but it’s still mainly you.
