Leadership and Technology: Building Powerful Learning Communities
Dates: January 20-21, 2009 Location: Desert Willow Conference Center 4340 East Cotton Center Boulevard, Phoenix Times: 8:00am - 3:30pm Cost: $175 Deadline: 1/6/2009

How can school leadership maximize student engagement and academic achievement? How can leaders encourage teachers and students to collaborate with peers and professionals around the world? In this presentation and workgroup session, Dr. Tim Tyson, former principal of Mabry Middle School, who has been called "The Pied Piper of Educational Technology" by the School Library Journal, will share lessons learned and philosophical frameworks gleaned from that school's exploration of best practices and ways to leverage technology through school-wide blogging and school-wide student/teacher/administrator digital media creation in their efforts to make learning irresistible.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn with one another in small breakouts that will focus on 21st Century tools such as Google Docs and Wikis, Blogs, and Web 2.0.

While this conference is geared to school principals and district administrators, teacher leaders are welcome to join us! http://www.azk12.org/azk12.php?section=6158
