The Podcast: 2 Conferences and a Monster
February 19th, 2008 · No Comments
Today’s podcast, one of several recorded today, is a reflection about my upcoming session for Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation, recorded on my way home from the Colorado Podcast Summit. I hope to post more audio from the summit as time allows. (But, since time won’t ever allow, I’ll try to do so anyway.)

Colorado XO Users?
February 14th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Tomorrow, I’m going to begin working with the 7-year-old winner of an XO computer. She won the computer in a drawing at our school district’s technology fair. We’ll be documenting her progress and our learning on a new blog. But as I am getting ready to create her blog, and populate the sidebar with lots of good resources, I’m wondering who else is out there in Colorado using XO’s. Know anyone?
UPDATE (2/16/08): The new blog’s up. Come join us!

Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation
December 11th, 2007 · 2 Comments
You are invited to attend the Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation Conference.
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.
Education is conversation.
Conversation creates change.
The
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.

It is merely a stopping point, a time to talk about the visible
difference that we all seek.
We read. We reflect. We write. We share. We learn. Come join us for a day of conversation about learning and technology.
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.
Oh, also feel free to add this image to your blog, or download and print the flyer.

IB TOK Blogging OK By Me
October 19th, 2007 · 4 Comments
My friend and colleague Jason is beginning some new blogging work with his students. You might be interested, particularly if you teach IB Theory of Knowledge. (One great thing about the IB Diploma pPogramme is that all students must take an epistemology course. I wish that everyone took a class about how we know what we know. Here’s more info on IB’s course.) Here’s a bit of info:
I’m having the students each host the blog for a week in an attempt to
get them to record for me how people are responding on the blog. All of
my expectations, including my "Blog Log", are found here.Now that my students are thinking, writing, and recording for me… it all begins. Now we’ll just see where it takes me.
In other classroom blogging news…
In
2 weeks or so, a new TOK blog will be set up for an international
audience. Schools from Colorado, Chicago, Munich, Singapore, the UK,
and Equador will be talking to each other. I’m still in the process of
formalizing how that will look but I’ll post more info. when I know.
As a plus and an aside, here’s a teaching resource for one IB TOK teacher’s courses, an online community for IB students and graduates, as well as a weblog ring of IB students. Interesting stuff.
