Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation

Again, Karl Fisch has taken the lead in Colorado by initiating and organizing a one-day conference on Learning 2.0. As Karl describes,

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.

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.

Karl has asked me to give a brief presentation and to lead a discussion about professional development and learning communities. Following the theme of the conference, the emphasis will be on discussion. I encourage anyone that follows my blog to attend the conference and join the conversation.
