EduCon 2.0 -- A Call for Conversations

From January 25-27, we're going to attempt something really quite exciting at SLA. We're going to host EduCon 2.0.

About EduCon 2.0

EduCon 2.0 is both a conversation and a conference.

And it is not a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is a School 2.0 conference. It is, hopefully, an innovation conference where we want to come together, both in person and virtually, to discuss the future of schools. We are looking for people to present ideas, facilitate conversations, and share best practice.

The Axioms / Guiding Principles of EduCon 2.0:
1) Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members.
2) Our schools must be about co-creating -- together with our students -- the 21st Century Citizen
3) Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around.
4) Technology must enable students to research, create, communicate and collaborate
5) Learning can -- and must -- be networked.

We are now making our call for conversations -- these are the sessions where people present ideas, lead conversations, engage with people and find a way to update the conference-style presentation in a way that is more interactive, more progressive and -- hopefully -- takes advantage of all of the ways we've found to engage a wider audience.

Proposals are due Nov 1st. Please consider creating a conversation.

Chris,
This sounds amazing. I hope I can attend. I have two small children, so it will take some negotiations with my husband.

If I can make it, I have been trained as a CFG coach - I don't think I would want to lead a session, but I would be willing to facilitate a protocol if you need people to do that.

By the way - you have ads on your wiki - if you e-mail wikispaces and tell them your wiki is for educational purposes, they will take them off.
