So I’m helping work on this fairly large summit we’re running. As of right now, we’ve got 280 people signed up, but we’re predicting something over 300 attending by March 10th.
Pretty excited about all this.
We’re trying to start some good communication between people already doing the 1:1 thing, and people looking to go that direction. If I’m honest, I have absolutely no idea what that other direction might be, but there you go. Let me say a few thing about what this conference isn’t:
1. An Apple-specific event. Yes, they’ll be there, and yes, we use iPad2’s at our 1:1 schools, but this isn’t about a specific device.
2. A focus on how to use specific tools in classrooms.
3. A waste of time.
And as to the question as to what this conference is:
1. A plainspoken talk about the culture shift required in a successful move to 1:1.
2. A chance to share and create resources about that cultural shift.
3. Awesome.
I’ll post more about the cultural shift I’ve mentioned above, but that’s a bigger topic than I’m willing to tackle right here and now.
