You don't have to have read the book to benefit from the session -- people brand-new to SLA's model of teaching and learning are welcome, as well as return visitors who are interested in the nuts and bolts of how to potentially adopt our model to your learning environment.","Link":["http:\/\/lpahomov.wordpress.com"],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"After introducing participants to the basics of the model, the session will allow attendees to rotate through smaller-group discussions on the five core values, receiving guidance and tips from both teachers and students based on their specific learning environments.

While it might be easy to identify (and lambast) the \"corporate\" voices, are we truly offering and supporting diverse voices in response? Who gets to speak \"for\" students, for teachers, for change? How can we do better?","Description":"The people that are often praised as education leaders, no matter where they might sit on the \"politics of education reform\" spectrum  -- the right or the left, from the public or private sector, \"insiders\" or \"outsiders\" -- often share a lot in common: namely, their privilege. Their class privilege. Their gender privilege. Their racial privilege. Their age privilege. Their health privilege. Their credential privilege. \r\n\r\nWe need to stop and ask: whose voices are we hearing? Whose voices are we ignoring? Whose voices are we amplifying? Whose voices are we squelching?\r\n\r\nAudrey Watters and Jose Vilson will open a discussion about who gets recognized, who gets amplified. How does privilege play out in the politics of education? How can we tackle questions of diversity in education?","Link":["http:\/\/www.josevilson.com\/","http:\/\/hackeducation.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We could start with a question that seems to be popular among ed(tech) bloggers: who are the most prominent voices in education?

Responsibly developing and maintaining that identity are critical skills for educators and students. What role should educators play in developing these skills? What do educators need to do themselves to shape their digital identities and to serve as models for students?","Description":"As events in the news, recent court cases, and laws about the right to be forgotten show, one\u2019s digital identity can have a significant impact on professional and personal lives. This is a critical issue for educators to understand, both for themselves and for their students. This session will explore various questions, including: \r\nWhat does digital identity mean for us as individuals and professionals?\r\nWhat does digital identity mean for the children in our family (be it our daughters\/sons or others close to us)?\r\nWhat does digital identity mean for our students?\r\nIn addition, we will discuss the implications of gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic location, and equity of access for digital identity. \r\n\r\nThese are issues that are faced, albeit in different ways, by our students from kindergarten through college and beyond.  It is essential that we as educators are prepared to help them develop their online identities in ways that are thoughtful, positive, and appropriate.  \r\n\r\nWe also need to be able to develop our own digital identities in ways that provide models for our students, foster skills useful in our own teaching, and advocate for the teaching profession in the larger world.","Link":["http:\/\/rafranzdavis.com","http:\/\/beckyfisher73.wordpress.com","http:\/\/mcclurken.org","http:\/\/jenorr.com","http:\/\/assortedstuff.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We will start by having participants Google themselves (or if they are regular practitioners of the vanity search, then we will have them Google their school, their district, or their best friend).\r\n\r\nWe will then move to our own _brief_ answers to the three questions above.\r\n\r\nThen we will have the audience weigh in as smaller groups (with key ideas brought back to the big group) on each topic in order.\r\n\r\nAfter some conversation about views, concerns, hopes, we will ask the audience to help us construct a Google Doc with strategies and resources","Presenter":["Rafranz David","Becky Fisher","Jeffrey McClurken","Jennifer Orr","Tim Stahmer"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Arlington ISD","Albemarle (VA) Public Schools","University of Mary Washington","Fairfax County Public Schools"],"PresenterEmail":["rafranz11@gmail.com","bfisher@k12albemarle.org","mcclurken@gmail.com","jenorr@gmail.com","tstahmer@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":46,"ScheduleLocationID":10,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"Google Doc for sharing resources and strategies -- https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1vzP2Q-BclVlNLVFpTxtfuKeC17Cjt6R8V2b0vpCzlD8\/edit?usp=sharing","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":4},{"ID":415,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1412798075,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Imagining Digital Spaces for Learning","Handle":"imagining_digital_spaces_for_learning","ShortDescription":"The Web now provides an infinite canvas for developing spaces that are boundless locations for learning.  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.
