Learning 2.010

In a world where content is continually changing, and you can learn almost anything for free, what's the point of going to a conference?

This is the question we started with in designing your Learning 2.010 Conference experience. The content is free and easy. If you want to learn how to use Facebook in your classroom, a simple search on Google will bring you back many hits on how teachers are finding ways of using it in the classroom.

But what if you wanted to actually talk with those teachers? What if you wanted to pick their brains, sit and have coffee with them and bounce ideas around? That is not so easy.

Sure we have Skype, Remote Desktop Applications, and even iChat, but there is still something about sitting down with a fellow educator and having a conversation around topics that you are both interested in.

That is what we hope Learning 2.010 is for you. A conference not built on content, but on having conversations! Learning 2.010 has two parts to it. Cohorts of learners and Unconference conversations.

Cohorts of Learners:

Our idea is this: Let's bring together educators from around the world to have conversations around a given topic. Let's give them time to sit together to brainstorm, hypothesize, and then create some sort of artifact that we can all learn from. Let's help build Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) by having educators spend time together face to face discussing big educational ideas and then go away with new friendships and networks they can continue to grow and use after the conference.
