Sessions

We've combined as best we could the ideas expressed in all the School Divisions and organizations and tried to create 8 unique topics. Understand that if what you are passionate about cannot be addressed in these, you'll have the opportunity to create your own session as well.

=Session 2 1:00-3:00=

Its not so much that technology has changed //the nature of teaching and learning//, but that technology has changed the nature of information and how the world works, and how people work and learn and play. Because the world that we are preparing our children for is changing so dramatically (and continuing to change), we must rethink the **what**, **how**, and **why** we are teaching our children, and retool our classrooms to accomplish new goals. The stories will come from forward thinking educators. But we need to get those stories out into the public, and get parents, neighbors, school board members, legislators, and even presidents telling those stories. [|Link] [|Jotspot Live Notes]
