Second+Coming

**You're invited to the Second Coming of the Consultants Open Space Conference: The 21st Century Learning Open Space Conference**
=Join us for a day of curriculum and technology dialogue and action!= We look forward to discussing the changing nature of student learning with regard to teachnology. The focus of the day will be meeting the needs of the 21st Century learner by infusing technology into the curriculum. The issues around the ethics and safety of using online tools, and the teaching and learning implications of these new technologies promises to yeild a lively discussion.

There will be a plenary session with introductions to the participants and the Open Space forum, and then the discussions and sharing begins. The current 'session' topics are: (as these are determined by the participants, feel free to add your own)
 * Technology to support differentiated learning
 * Web 2.0 tools
 * Information Literacy
 * Open Source
 * Laptops and Wireless
 * Online Safety
 * P.D. 2.0 - Professional Development Issues and Celebrations

Now who thought this one up?
The InTech committee that is hanging in the balance of budget and department issues all of a sudden had nothing to do...well not really, but we did get a couple meeting dates cut or postponed, and there is so much to discuss out there right now. Why not share and problem solve instead of hanging out in our own 'closed spaces' and dealing with technology and curriculum issues rather than planning for them. InTech is made up of a few people from around the province, Sheri Gunville will have her division host, along with Donna Desroches, Reg Block, Judy Byers, Stu Harris, and Michelle Faucher who have been working collaboratively to develop P.D. resources for technology consultants and teachers and would love to share what they have in their materials which reflect the open space concept with a few guided learning opportunities thrown in. Please feel free to preview and add to the discussion on their Mentorship Wiki.
