10:30 AM - 11:30 AM A Tale of Two Schools: Time to Close the Opportunity Gap ACHIEVEMENT GAPS & EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY ACC | Room 18ABCD | Featured Session More than 60 years since the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, we still find separate and unequal schools. Education is a civil right, and we must ensure all students receive the education they deserve. Each and every child, regardless of where they live, who their parents are or how much money they have, deserves a quality education. Join Lily Eskelsen Garcia, a 5th grade teacher from Utah and presi- dent of the National Education Association, as she explains the fundamental failure to meet this moral responsibility. Lily Eskelsen Garcia, National Education Association 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Digital Learning Is Not the End Game. So What Is? SEL & DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP Hilton | Salon A | Core Conversation It's time to ban "digital" learning. Why? Over the last several years, we've amplified the virtues, necessity, promise and potential of technology in the classroom so much that we are extremely close to forgetting it's original purpose: helping teachers to teach and students to learn. What learning environments in the early learning space do we want to create for our students when we stop talking about the implementation of technology as the end game, and realize it's the means of reaching one? CJ Kettler, Channel One News, Susan Magsamen, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM Literacy Through Music, Social Media and Coding INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES & BEST PRACTICES ACC | Ballroom EFG | Playground Talk Words Liive has developed a literacy curricula called CLI, Contemporary Language Integration. CLI is a learning pathology which intersects urban music, social media text and computer coding with English literature. CLI comes complete with a digital app called LiiveBoard. We offer users a highly interactive and responsive reading ex- perience. In addition, the Words Liive display illustrates the benefit of arts integration. Brian Moseley, Words Liive, LLC, Sage Salvo, Words Liive, LLC 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Privacy 201: From Compliance to Trust ENTREPRENEURIALISM IN EDUCATION ACC | Room 16AB | Panel Discussion Concerns about student data privacy are increasing in parallel with the growth of education technology. The panel will explore the tension between privacy and per- sonalization and review the existing policy landscape. This will go beyond FERPA and COPPA to look at the implications of recently passed laws. Panelists will examine how schools and technology organizations can go beyond mere compliance with laws to actively building trust in education technology with parents, students and teachers. Aden Fine, Edmodo, Aimee Guidera, Data Quality Campaign, John Bailey, Digital Learning Now, Troy Wheeler, Ed-Fi Alliance 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Redesigning Higher Education with the Campus, Clouds and Crowds INTERNATIONAL MODELS & APPROACHES Hilton | Salon K | Panel Discussion The future is more than a digital replica of today's classroom or campus. We can de- sign a better future combining the campus, clouds and crowds in new ways. The ses- sion focuses on three themes. First, IT should be used for engagement, not just infor- mation. Second, higher education must challenge the common assumption of man vs machine—it is both, in combination. Finally, clouds alter what is possible. What if we used the best technology has to offer with the best we can provide? Diana Oblinger, EDUCAUSE, Paul LeBlanc, Southern New Hampshire University 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Research, Startups, Citizens: All Together Now ENTREPRENEURIALISM IN EDUCATION ACC | Room 12AB | Panel Discussion The issue of knowledge transfer is quite hot these days; the economic crisis has made it even hotter. At the University of Porto's Science and Technology Park (Portugal), we're testing development models by having Design Researchers, Startup businesses and Citizen-led projects share open workspaces and daily lives: the rest, as they say, is serendipity. This panel will present examples of how this emerging sense of com- munity has been contributing to mutual growth. Fátima São Simão, UPTEC, Heitor Alvelos, University of Porto, Marco Bravo, The University of Texas at Austin IC2 Institute 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Shark Tank: Edu Edition ACHIEVEMENT GAPS & EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY Hilton | Salon J | Panel Discussion Presented by The Chronicle of Higher Education, this is a fast-paced pitch-a-thon, with a panel of Chronicle veterans -- and a few outside ringers -- weighing in on fresh ideas from companies, colleges and other players for improving the college experience. Goldie Blumenstyk, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Jeffrey Young, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Thomas Bartlett, The Chronicle of Higher Educa- tion 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Wear to Learn: The Body As an Interface SOCIAL & MOBILE LEARNING Hilton | Salon F | Core Conversation | #futurewear What happens as wearable tech enters the classroom? This session explores how per- sistent and multiple streams of information, images and video will augment reality and transform learning. Eyeglasses will become screens, jewelry will gather and transmit data and information will be projected/imprinted on our physical bodies. These inter- faces will empower students as architects of their own learning while simultaneously challenging social relations and disrupting existing practices in education. Emory Craig, College of New Rochelle, Maya Georgieva, Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning 10:40 AM - 10:55 AM The Future Will Be Self-Taught INTERNATIONAL MODELS & APPROACHES ACC | Room 15 | Future15 | #xprize We are at critical tipping point in education: 250 million children globally cannot read or write. Our teacher shortage soars into the millions. We cannot build enough schools or train enough teachers, but can we create technology to empower children to teach themselves? This concept is taken to the next level in XPRIZE's newest challenge to revolutionize global learning. What could the future look like with millions of addi- tional minds unleashed? Matt Keller, XPRIZE 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM Fresh Prep: The Holodeck—Classroom of the Future DIY, MAKER & HACKER ACC | Ballroom EFG | Playground Hands On How will classrooms look in the future? Fresh Ed presents: "The Holodeck", an in- teractive classroom space where students self-direct their learning. Informed by hip- hop pedagogy, it features all-original music, and puts students at the focus of the classroom. Designed with Smartboard, projectors and sensory inputs such as Makey- Makeys and Kinect technology—this is a environment that comes alive as students enter it, and presents them with a series of individual and team challenges.
