Leveraging the Moment
Consider how technology can be used to support transformation and change through an interactive workshop. Learn about the strategic steps a district is taking to reimagine education while ensuring equity and inclusion. Understand how by blending our technology with our humanity we can transform how we learn, work, and live.
Leveraging Lessons Learned to Evolve in Education
There is no denying that there have been great challenges but there have also been some bright spots that can highlight a path forward and help use the lessons to evolve in our practices. We know that our educational practices and systems have not always met the needs of all learners so we have an opportunity to abandon what hasn’t worked, keep what does, and use our lessons learned to create a new blend that allows us to move forward in ways that better meets the needs of our learners and communities. This interactive workshop will bring education leaders together to collaborate, reflect, and imagine what is possible.

Lighting Talk Humanology: Getting Human Right in the Age of Technology
Technology is shaping the future, but it will be HUMANOLOGY that determines how technology is used to transform the way we learn, work and live. To stay ahead of an increasingly digital and automated world, we need to start cultivating our most human abilities and put a premium on our uniquely human skills: judgement, vision, wisdom, creativity and resilience. There's nothing soft about these skills, and we can't afford to leave them to chance. Harnessing wide-ranging research on human evolution, biology and psychology, Angela Maiers will share a framework for illustrating and understanding what’s possible when we blend our technology with our humanity and work together toward making the world a better place to be human, for us and for our children.
An interactive workshop where participants will unpack emerging models and the tech tools used to support transformation and change.
