Welcome

=**Welcome to The MassCUE / METAA Technology Leadership Symposium 2011**=

Design for Global Learning
= Keynote Speaker: = Our theme of Design for Global Learning lead us to explore the most recent National Education Technology Plan (NETP2010). We thought it would be helpful to to discuss the plan with one of its authors. We are fortunate to have David Rose as our keynote and panel facilitator. David founded The Center for Applied Special Technology, CAST, right here in Massachusetts. CAST is an educational research & development organization that works to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning. =** Panelists: ** = We chose 5 Massachusetts panelists that could each "represent" one of the strands in the NETP2010. Learning: Engage and Empower - Mary Marotta Infrastructure: Access and Enable - Bill Milot Productivity: Redesign and Transform - Deb Socia Teaching: Prepare and Connect - Justin Reich Assessment: Measure What Matters - David Troughton
 * The strands are:**

=** Open Space Peer-to-Peer Learning: ** = In the late afternoon, we are bravely going where we have not gone before...open space peer-to-peer learning. This session concept comes to us as part of the "unconference movement". Great people have great ideas that arise and need to be shared somewhat spontaneously. Prepared sessions can be outdated when submitted months ahead of time in typical conferences. We want you to experience this new type of forum. We have created an virtual sticky note board on Stixy where you can post a topic you want to discuss and/or facilitate yourself. Please take a look at our [|Stixy]. You are welcome to start posting ideas.
