Call+for+Sessions

EduCon 2.0 is both a conversation and a conference.
And it is **not** a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is a School 2.0 conference. It is, hopefully, an innovation conference where we want to come together, both in person and virtually, to discuss the future of schools. We are looking for people to present ideas, facilitate conversations, and share best practice.

The Axioms / Guiding Principles of EduCon 2.0:
1) Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members. 2) Our schools must be about co-creating -- together with our students -- the 21st Century Citizen 3) Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around. 4) Technology must enable students to research, create, communicate and collaborate 5) Learning can -- and must -- be networked.

Call For Conversations
School 2.0** -- What are the schools we need to prepare kids for the world to come?
 * In addition to the many informal conversations we believe will be a big part of EduCon 2.0, we do want structured sessions in the following broad strands:
 * Classroom 2.0** -- What are the classrooms our students need -- today and into the future?
 * Student 2.0** -- How should the student experience change in our schools?
 * Teacher 2.0** -- How should the profession of "teacher" change?
 * Innovation 2.0** -- How do we best act as agents of positive change?
 * Library 2.0. --** What is the role of the library in the future and what does it looks like, act like, feel like?
