June 22-23, 2009
Commons Conference Center
Austin, Texas, USA
Session Description:
From Facebook and other Social networking applications to wikis, blogs
and digital media, students in the U.S. are fully engaged in the use of
participatory Web 2.0 tools outside of the classroom. Though school
leaders believe that Web 2.0 collaborative applications expand the
resources available for classroom learning; they are often constrained
by policy considerations.
How can schools better align the reality of technology-rich world in
which students live outside of school with the learning experiences they
have in the classroom each day?

“While you’ve been hiring Communications experts
to create a smooth-talking, slick appearance for your
K-12 school district, establishing policies about who
Session Materials - http://sn.im/txcto2009
gets to post what, and creating a chain of command
to ensure that only appropriate and approved
materials show up on your static district web site,
your students, teachers, parents, community and
Media outlets have been creating little interactive
web sites for their own use, telling their version of
your story."
--Miguel Guhlin’s adaptation of Seth Godin’s work
in Meatball Sundae (must-read!)

“It used to be that the
superintendent and the

School Board made
decisions and said, 'This
is how it's going to be,'
and the community
would accept that.”
