Educon 2.0 is not a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is a School 2.0 conference. It will be an innovation conference where we come together in person and virtually to discuss the future of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas — from the very practical to the big dreams.This is the perfect way for school leaders, teachers, tech coordinators and district teams to spend a weekend learning together.
- Friday, January 25 – visit the innovative, student-centered Science Leadership Academy (SLA). SLA is a public Philadelphia High School working in partnership with the Franklin Institute to create a technology-rich, inquiry-based learning environment.
- Saturday & Sunday, January 26/27 – participate in unique, interactive small group sessions to discuss the future of education.
Registration costs only $50
Speakers include:
Will Richardson -Weblogg-ed
Chris Lehmann -Practical Theory
David Jakes – The Strength of Weak Ties
Gary Stager – Stager to Go and The Pulse

Are you folks going to podcast the event? UStream it? I’d love to be there.
Take care,
Miguel
Sylvia — Thanks for the reminder. Just got my HS Principal to agree to come.
Miguel — I’m planning on being there and working with EdTechTalk to webcast. I’m sure many plan on uStreaming. One of Chris’ concerns was bandwidth over utilization. so we may have to conserve bandwidth for our remote participants.
Happy New Year! – Alex
