“Technology is not the solution, just
the vehicle to solve a problem.”

Robert Spielvogel

a structure of public
schooling that we
should have long
since abandoned.”

General Session 2:
Equity


“How many kids are held back by
the fears that others have about
their race or backgrounds?”

“One strategy that makes a
difference in every school:
Listening with intent.”

the students choice .”

Curtis Linton

“You can't get big learning
improvements by changing
the existing education
system. You have to do
something new.”

we're doing as professionals, as
21st century educators, to use
new technologies to improve
upon our practices.”

“We have a new kind of
learner; we're going to need
new kinds of schools.”

“What year are you
preparing your kids for?”

Heidi Hayes Jacobs

General Session 4:
Professional Learning


“You have to have
infrastructure in place in
order for professional
development efforts to
take root, and to go from
initiation to integration.”

Sydnee Dickson
Utah State Office of Education


“We're going to talk about
the kind of learning where
teachers say, 'This is why I
got into education in the
first place.’”

Steve Olsen


“All children can learn if all
teachers can reach them ”

Maria Salazar,
Professor, InTASC Committee Member, University of Denver


“We can't send kids to get a
college degree without an
idea of what they want to
do professionally. ”

Wolfram Alpha for that.”
