UPDATE 8-3-09: After meeting with Randy Black, one thing that is of great interest is the policy governance principles the BOE keeps for managing the district. The Inspired Writing is a product of those principles, so how to we share that? -Dan Maas

Workspace for agenda, links etc. Pre-session survey: []

The message we want to communicate is: Our mission: Through an elegant synthesis of humanity and technology, we will inspire a command of information, masterful communication, creative productivity and ethical citizenship for every learner.

What do these four tenets mean? How do we simplify the challenge of 21st Century Learning to make it accessible to teachers, students and the community?

There are lots of dazzling sessions... cool and amazing things you can do with technology. But how to avoid getting trapped by glitz and losing the educational value? Can 21st Century Learning help more kids master the basics AND enable more powerful literacy skills than traditional tests will measure?
