The Power of the Product: An EduCon Conversation

Gwyneth Jones (the Daring Librarian) and I will be hosting a session, The Power of the Product, at EduCon this year.

We're excited to be exploring this topic and hope you can join us on site or online.

One of our discussion tools will be a crowd-generated Google slideshow. Gwyneth & I will the ball rolling, and then invite you to add your own examples to the slide deck we're constructing. Additional resources are being archived at the TL Virtual Cafe.

A conversation is only as "Creative, Meaningful and Daring" as its participants. Come join us, and see what we can build together!

EduCon 2.2

"EduCon 2.2 is both a conversation and a conference." -EduCon wiki

One week from today, I'll be checking in at the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, ready to participate in three days of connecting, learning, and sharing.

SLA Principal Chris Lehmann and his staff have once again put together an outstanding schedule featuring "conversations" led by an impressive group of educational leaders and innovators.

Among the unique features of this event are the Friday tours, where guests can attend class and interact with SLA students, and the Friday evening panel discussion held at the Franklin Institute.

This will be EduCon's third year and my second time there. For those unable to travel to Pennsylvania, virtual attendance is an option.

For more details, visit the EduCon 2.2 wiki. Lists of attendees can be found on the Who's Coming page and via the Liz B. Davis Twitter list.
