Liberating Learning: Search, Connect, Communicate, Make
Pam and Ira will co-keynote on their work to take down the walls of schools and create a seamless social learning community that connects with the world's expertise, resources, and opportunities to share ideas and projects. The focus of their keynote will be on specific work accomplished in this inventive public school district in the U.S. to inspire curiosity in learners, connect communities along multiple paths, support all students to sustain their creativity through design and make spaces in and out of schools, and educate for life, not passing tests.
