Registration for EduCon 2.3 is now open! You can go to the conference site or straight to the Eventbrite registration page.
If you are unfamiliar with EduCon, it is the conference we host at SLA that looks to investigate the intersection of progressive pedagogy and 21st Century Tools. All sessions are dialogic / conversation based, as opposed to traditional lecture-based professional development.
From the EduCon 2.3 website:
What is Educon?
EduCon is both a conversation and a conference.
And it is not a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is, hopefully, an innovation conference where we can come together, both in person and virtually, to discuss the future of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas — from the very practical to the big dreams.
Guiding Principles of EduCon
- Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members
- Our schools must be about co-creating — together with our students — the 21st Century Citizen
- Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around
- Technology must enable students to research, create, communicate and collaborate
- Learning can — and must — be networked
EduCon 2.3 is Jan 28-30, 2011. Registration is open. The conference costs $150 – $100 for School District of Philadelphia teachers.
We hope you can join us!
