Feb 12, 2010 (8:30-11:30AM) TLI - Edith Macy Conference Center - Briarcliff Manor, NY Dr. Jason Ohler - "New Students, New Media, New Literacies" Dr. Ohler, a Professor of Educational Technology and Distance Learning, at the University of Alaska, points out that literacy has always meant being able to consume and produce the media forms of the day. For centuries this has meant writing. Now it means blending words with images, sounds, music, video, and other media to create the new communication default: the multimedia collage, in the form of web pages, digital stories, YouTube creations, etc. Based on Jason's book: Digital Storytelling in the Classroom: New Media Pathways to Literacy, Learning and Creativity, this session will focus on transforming learning through digital creativity. http://www.jasonohler.com Mar 5, 2010 (7:30AM-4:00PM) Tech Expo - Edith Macy Conference Center - Briarcliff Manor, NY Michael B. Horn - “Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns” Michael, a graduate of Harvard Business School, is Executive Director, Education and co-founder of Innosight Institute, a non-profit think tank devoted to applying the theories of disruptive innovation to problems in the social sector. He is the coauthor of Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change How the World Learns with Professor Clayton M. Christensen and Curtis W. Johnson. Mr. Horn will discuss uses of the theories of disruptive innovation to identify the root causes of schools’ struggles and suggest a path forward to customize an education for every child in the way they learn. http://www.michaelbhorn.com Dr. Gary Stager - "Creativity 2.0 - The Quest for Meaning, Beauty, and Excellence" Authors and pundits stress the importance of creativity, but what does that mean or look like in classrooms? This keynote will address questions, such as: How do we get there? What do we need to change? Is creativity reserved for specific subject areas? Which hardware and software support creativity? What are the essential elements of effective project-based learning? Gary holds a PhD in Education from the University of Melbourne. He fights courageously to wake up the slumbering forces that guard the traditional fortress of “one size fits all” education. http://www.stager.org Apr 9, 2010 (8:30-11:30AM) TLI - Edith Macy Conference Center - Briarcliff Manor, NY Steve Hargadon - "School 2.0 and the Future of Education" Steve is Elluminate’s Social Learning Consultant, the director of the K-12 Open Technologies Initiative at CoSN, the Emerging Technologies Chair for NECC, and the founder of the Classroom 2.0 social network.
