Library 2.015 Spring Summit - The Emerging Future: Technology and Learning, April 30th, 2015

The technology landscape changes rapidly, and these changes have economic, social, and ethical significance for individuals, organizations, and the entire world. The Emerging Future: Technology and Learning brings focus to the planning skills that are needed, the issues that are involved, and the current trends as we explore the potential impact of technological innovations. These interactive sessions on future technology trends will present key issues faced by information professionals and educators. A goal of the Spring Summit is to provide a forum to discuss ways to prepare for your personal and organization’s future.

Saturday's all-day unconference features special guest Audrey Watters again this year, and huge shout-out to this year's unconference and evening party sponsor, StudyBlue and Shutterfly.

Partner Announcement:
Flat Connections: ISTE Preconference Workshops

Julie Lindsay, founder of Flat Connections, will be offering two preconference learning opportunities for educators:

The Global Educator Workshop will be held in Philadelphia, PA June 25th & 26th. This workshop is for K-12 educators as well as leaders in schools and government who make pertinent decisions about how teachers and students learn and do. Participants will be immersed in 'flat' or connected learning modes and explore global collaboration as a pedagogy. A hands-on approach will allow participants to explore, discuss and model collaborative use of emerging technologies scaffolded by the steps and actions to flatten the classroom. Focus will also be on how to participate in a global project, how to engage learners and your extended network in global interactions, as well as how to support global education and global competency within your school or learning environment.
Create a Social Entrepreneurship Learning Collaborative will be held on Saturday, June 27th at the conference venue. Explore social entrepreneurship objectives fused with emerging technologies for connected and collaborative learning as well as community building for change. Use design thinking, flattened learning actions and social media to understand how to implement engaging curriculum to support student social entrepreneurship objectives and enhance global understanding. Registration information here.
