Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************ ************************************** Exploring The Future of Learning is a unique, hands-on, in-depth exploration of today's most promising emerging technologies and pedagogies-- and the opportunities and challenges they bring to the future of learning. The event combines "The Exploratory", an interactive technology and learning exploration laboratory, with "The Symposium", a series of in depth discussions, facilitated by a group of renowned thinkers in learning and technology. The Exploratory will feature over 50 projects in eleven Pavilions, each focused on a specific Curriculum, Technology, or leadership theme. The Pavilions are being created by leaders like Elliot Soloway and Cathie Norris, Bob Tinker, Stan Silverman, Margaret Riel, Bill Mitchell, Robin Bargar and Tom Kalil, who are bringing together a rich variety of projects representing the best in emerging technologies and learning applications that participants will be able to actively engage with and in. 100 student leaders from around the globe will also be participating. The Symposium, which follows, will be centered on participants (you) and your ideas, analysis, issues, and questions about the future of learning. These discussions will be led by another group of outstanding thinkers and leaders, including Linda Roberts, Tom Carroll, Margaret Honey, David Dwyer, Karen Billings and Ed Lazowska. Esther Dyson will confer with the discussion leaders and present a report on the outcomes at the Closing Plenary session. Is That All? We hope not. We hope that it is just the beginning of an ongoing conversation and collaboration by people who care about the future of learning and the roles that students, teachers, education leaders, technologies, organizations and companies will play in that future. A conversation designed to build a community, and generate ideas, analysis, reflection, action, and change. A conversation about the many possible futures of learning and how we create the future we want rather than watch others create a less preferred, less powerful, less learned future. Exploring the Future of Learning is co-hosted by Advanced Network & Services, the non-profit organization that created the internationally renowned ThinkQuest Programs, and the University of Washington.
