What is Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation?
Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation
is a one day conference/meetup for teachers, administrators, students,
school board members, parents and anyone who is interested in
education. It will be held on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008, from 9:00
am until 3:00 pm at Arapahoe High School
in Centennial, Colorado, USA. We assume most folks will be from
Colorado, but everyone is welcome to attend, and we are working on some
ideas for virtual participation.
Conversation creates change.
future of education does not exist in the isolated world of theory and
abstract conference sessions. Instead, it exists in conversations. It
exists in creating a robust learning network that is ever-expanding and
just-in-time. Learning 2.0 is not the beginning of this conversation.
It is merely a stopping point, a time to talk about the visible
difference that we all seek.
You can learn much more about the conference on the wiki, including information about registering. Here are some highlights:
Tentative Schedule
We’re
still working on the details so this will be updated before the
conference. Also, this may expand if we have more folks register than
we are anticipating. (To quote Bud Hunt, "This conference stuff is hard!")
Registration
You must register
so that we know how many folks to expect and so that we can have enough
lunches available. (Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?)
Cost
Free,
baby. And lunch is included, thanks to the generous support of
Littleton Public Schools, St. Vrain Valley Public Schools, and Arapahoe
High School.
Wireless
BYOL (that would be
Bring Your Own Laptop) – we’ll have wireless access to the Internet
(filtered) – we may test our capacity to handle density of machines,
but hopefully things will go swimmingly. If not, we have wired machines
in various places you can access.
Questions for Students
We’re having a student panel discussion during lunch. Here’s your chance to submit some questions for them to consider.
Invite Others
We
strongly encourage you to invite other folks from your school,
district, neighborhood, or learning network to attend as well. It would
be great if everyone could bring at least one person with them that is
perhaps new to this conversation.
Questions?
Feel free to leave a comment on this post or on the FAQ page on the wiki.

Hi Bud,
I need to see if my students could take an active part in this. I’d only be thinking of taking a handful of them, probably.
I’d also like some members of the SHS STEM initiative to attend, so I’m going to try to convince a few to sign up with me….
