Over the next couple of weeks, I would like to talk about some extra special sessions that will happen at the conference. You probably know about the keynotes and featured sessions altready (they are on our website and in our registration brochure that was mailed out a couple of weeks ago. However, we have many special sessions that are not listed as keynotes or featured sessions. I would like to bring your attention to a few of them.
First, since technology is our overarching theme and we have been talking about technology quite a bit, on Friday October 31, the architects who are designing our 21st Century Classroom are putting together quite a panel discussion. Panelists will include:
Linda Wagner, AIA, Bennett Wagner & Grody Architects
Anne-Claude Pharamond, AIA, LEED AP, Bennett Wagner & Grody Architects (Anne is the project manager on the 21st Century Classroom)
Kate Clark – recently retired principal of Ocoee Middle School (FL), which is a technology demonstration school for the state of Florida
The group is going to add a student voice to the panel and the panel will focus on the idea of designing imaginative and effective learning spaces for the 21st century.
The panel is scheduled for 10:00 AM on Friday October 31- and it should be a good one.
