Essential Question
What Were the Big Picture and Practical Classroom “take aways” from the Learning 2.008 Conference?
Some take aways from the discussion>
- The need to prepare teachers for progressive conferences like Learning 2.008. Scaffold the process so they will take time for the networking, unconferencing and reflection portions of conferences like Learning 2.008.
- Look to have regular presentation sessions that lead out into and scaffold into unconference sessions
- Look to shift our regular presentations in the way we organize the rooms and work to make them more discussion focused
- Need to differentiate for the “shiftedness” continuum of the participants
- Jan 24-26 Flat Classroom Conference in Qatar
