David Warlick, a 30 year educator, has been a classroom teacher, district
administrator, and staff consultant with the North Carolina State Department
of Public Instruction. For the past ten years, Mr. Warlick has operated The
Landmark Project, a consulting, and innovations firm in Raleigh, North
Carolina. His web site, Landmarks for Schools, serves more than a
half-million visits a day with some of the most popular teacher tools
available on the Net. David is also the author of three books on
instructional technology and 21st century literacy, and has spoken to
audiences throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and South America.

To reflect on and to prepare for the discussion:

We teach in a time of rapid change, when, for the first time in history, we
cannot clearly describe the future for which we are preparing our children.
This is one reason why learning has become a critical part of what it is to
teach.  Attendees will discuss a variety of emerging tools and techniques
that educators are using to form and cultivate their Personal Learning
Networks — connecting themselves to people and resources that help them do
their jobs. Reflect on how to grow your own connections to information and
experiences that help you strengthen your expertise and remain an engaged
member of your profession. Topics will include blogging as a professional
development endeavor, opportunities for professional jams, virtual staff
development events, and harnessing the magic of RSS to literally train
valuable content to find you — to be a 21st Century Educator.

Thanks,
