12:15-1:45 pm Workshop and Buffet Lunch in PACIFIC 3 High Designing Blended Learning: An Immersion Workshop for Beginners (Secondary School focus) “What is blended learning? What does it look like in practice? What content should we use? What technology platform? How will we change our school facilities? Will we provide laptops or have our students bring their own devices?” If you’re new to blended learning, the issues may seem daunting, and the questions endless. They range from strategic (what are our educational goals?) to financial (will the shift require investment or cut costs?) to operational (will we develop or license content?). OESIS offers presentations that will inspire, others that will delve deeply into examples, and others that explore specific topics in implementation. To get the most out of those sessions, this session will be the starting point for beginners. We will model blended learning by mixing aspects of small group instruction, multiple learning modes, self-directed learning, and BYOD. (If you don’t happen to have a “D” to bring, you can share someone else’s in a small group.) This will not be “sit and listen.” It will be watch (video), read (case study), listen (to your colleagues), ask (your questions), talk (about your own experiences and interests), repeat. The session will be 90 minutes, and attendance will be limited and by sign-up only. Write to: sratnavale@ oesisgroup.com to reserve a spot. John Watson, President and Founder, Evergreen Education (CO) Please note that this workshop runs both Thursday (Secondary School focus) and Friday (Elementary School focus) and overlaps slightly with sessions on either side of lunch. A buffet lunch will be served for participants outside Pacific 1 starting at 12:00.

D 1:40-2:35 pm D-1 Online Learning Strategy and Execution: A Discussion with Heads of School Join us for an engaging discussion with three Heads of School, who will share their thoughts on how online learning fits into their schools’ immediate and future strategic plans and what impact it has had on teaching and learning. Facilitated by Lucinda Lee Katz, Head of Marin Country Day School, this session offers a frank exploration of the opportunities and challenges that online learning presents to school leaders. A central theme of our discussion will be the different ways in which online learning tries to address current school goals and objectives, such as freeing up time, saving money, facilitating growth, and enhancing instruction. How have schools adjusted to inevitable resistance to change? Each school is in a different place with respect to technology and online learning, so this session promises to offer diverse opinions and useful information for educators just beginning to explore online learning as well as veterans of online learning.

D-2 Taming the Panther: Copyright and Fair Use in Online Learning (Part I) This session will offer practical pointers, for school and teacher, on what to do - and stay away from - in offering or using online learning environments, from course management systems to blending learning to personal faculty websites. We will explore: who owns and may use contributions made by faculty, staff, or students; positioning your work to encourage only desired uses, by your students and others; how to decide if your use of another’s work is fair use, including the true meaning of the so-called “10% rule;” steps for avoiding infringement; responsibilities to protect the intellectual property of others, during and after the semester; and what training and policies a school should put in place. We will glean insights from the district court’s recent decision in Cambridge University Press v. Becker (N.D.Ga. 2012), the Georgia State educational fair use case.

12:15-1:45 pm Workshop and Buffet Lunch in PACIFIC 3 Elementary/Middle Designing Blended Learning: An Immersion Workshop for Beginners (Elementary School focus) “What is blended learning? What does it look like in practice? What content should we use? What technology platform? How will we change our school facilities? Will we provide laptops or have our students bring their own devices?” If you’re new to blended learning, the issues may seem daunting, and the questions endless. They range from strategic (what are our educational goals?) to financial (will the shift require investment or cut costs?) to operational (will we develop or license content?). OESIS offers presentations that will inspire, others that will delve deeply into examples, and others that explore specific topics in implementation. To get the most out of those sessions, this session will be the starting point for beginners. We will model blended learning by mixing aspects of small group instruction, multiple learning modes, self-directed learning, and BYOD. (If you don’t happen to have a “D” to bring, you can share someone else’s in a small group.) This will not be “sit and listen.” It will be watch (video), read (case study), listen (to your colleagues), ask (your questions), talk (about your own experiences and interests), repeat. The session will be 90 minutes, and attendance will be limited and by sign-up only. Write to: [email protected] to reserve a spot. Please note that this workshop runs both Thursday (Secondary School focus) and Friday (Elementary School focus) and overlaps slightly with sessions on either side of lunch. A buffet lunch will be served for participants outside Pacific 1 starting at 12:00. John Watson, President and Founder, Evergreen Education (CO)
