Director's Blog July 13, 2009

21st Century Learners and Leaders:

We hope you will join us online at the state's first ever school administrator's virtual conference here on July 14, 2009. The theme this year is Transforming Education to Prepare Tomorrow's Leaders and the fact that the conference is virtual in tight budget times really provides leaders across the state with an innovative platform to hear virtual updates from state leaders including Governor Perdue and Dr. Bill Harrison, experts like Michael Horne of Disrupting Class, and a host of breakout sessions to help you with your work in these difficult times. If you have any questions regarding support or help with the virtual conference, please do not hesitate to contact the support personnel on the website.

For your learning this week, I have summarized a presentation from the National Education and Computing Conference https://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2009/ from my time in DC before the July 4, 2009 holiday. The summary is on the learning applications of cell phones and the presentation was done by Lesley Riley of Ed Tech Leaders Online: http://www.edtechleaders.org/ . I think you'll find it very informative as you consider going mobile with learning application in the coming years.
