Last January, I had the privilege of attending and blogging about one of the most invigorating events of my educational career, Educon 2.0 held at the Science Leadership Academy (SLA) in Philadelphia. This exciting event is again being hosted by SLA this weekend (January 23 - 25, 2009).
At Educon 2.1, you will find some of the most well-read, most challenging thinkers and doers in the world of education and technology gathering in Philadelphia for conversations around the following Axioms:
- 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.
Unfortunately, this year I'm not in Philadelphia, but home with flu symptons, but thanks to today's technology I am joining many others by participating virtually. You can, too!
I've been watching a steady stream of snippets from the conference, ranging from links, quotable quotes, and Aha's from my Twitter network. You can, too!
I'm watching a live video stream from Clay Burrell's blog. You can, too!
I will surely, be watching more videos from the conference which will be archived on Educon's conference wiki. You can, too!
Would love to hear from both attendees and virtual participants of Educon about some of your experience with Educon, including reflections and aha's.
