My Chinese visa has arrived, Thai re-entry permit has been secured, tickets are in hand and paid for, and only 5 more wake-ups before I get to travel to Shanghai for the Learning 2.0 conference! I have to admit, I always get excited about conferences, but this one looks especially amazing. I took a quick look through the conference schedule and here are my some of my top choices (I can’t seem to narrow it down to just one presentation per session yet…):
Session 1:
- The Instructional Technologist: Next Generation Tech Coordinator
- The No Time Slam Dunk Digital Lesson
Session 3:
- Teaching Media Literacy in an Age of Wikilobbying, Spin, Tabloid Journalism and the Photoshopping of Reality
- The Big Shifts in Learning
- Media Producers and Consumers in the Web 2.0 Classroom
Session 4:
- Way Beyond Web 2.0
- Best Practices in 21st Century Library Media Centers
Session 6:
- Building Learning Communities
- It’s Their Future: Make the Case for Problem Technologies in Schools
Session 7:
- A New Literacy Landscape – Multiple Literacies vs. the Narrow Agenda and Wal-Mart Curriculum
- Inventing the Future: Safely Empowering Learners in the Read/Write Society
Session 8:
- Creating globally connected, rigorous and highly motivated assignments
- Virtual Learning Communities of Change
- Global Voices: Distributed Learning Projects with Interactive Podcasting and VOIP Tools
And these are just my top choices from just an initial read-through of the schedule. Susan is right: there are way too many exciting sessions on the schedule to be able to make it to all of them on my own. Who’s got the cloning machine?
