At the same time, the types of devices that students have and can use to connect online are exploding.  Given these two ideas, and the potential they represent for learning, it is essential that schools begin to develop a dedicated digital spaces for learning.  In this conversation, we\u2019ll discuss potential models for the design of such a space while developing a manifesto that provides a declaration and invitation into digital learning.","Description":"Schools are moving toward ubiquitous technology access and students themselves own more devices.  Meanwhile, the opportunities to connect and learn online in a variety of formats are increasing exponentially .  The technology is present and now is the time for schools to consider what they offer with regards to online learning and the spaces that support it.\r\n\r\nIn this conversation, we\u2019ll explore the design of digital spaces for learning that are equal in stature to the learning that takes place in traditional physical locations.  How can the learning in a physical space be amplified by a digital location for learning?  How can learning in a digital space inform learning in a physical space?  How is blended learning encouraged?  Most importantly, what are the spatial implications of a contemporary learning experience that employs an ecology of digital tools to provide \u201clearning in the cloud?\u201d","Link":["http:\/\/www.tinyurl.com\/educonds"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We\u2019ll address the questions described in the extended description section and more, and crowdsource a manifesto of beliefs that declare how digital spaces support learning.  From there, participants will be challenged to begin designing a prototype digital learning space.  Models will be shared online.","Presenter":["David Jakes"],"PresenterAffiliation":["The Third Teacher+"],"PresenterEmail":["djakes@cannondesign.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":51,"ScheduleLocationID":10,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"If accepted, please do not schedule late on Sunday.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":4}}
