Proposals+2010

We are actively soliciting conversation proposals for **Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation** to be held on **Saturday, February 20th, 2010**, at **Loveland High School in Loveland, CO**. Your proposal should document your promising practices in facing the shift that is facing our schools in a way that is conversational in nature and leads to more talk and action. We are not interested in sessions that are one-way presentations of information.

Session proposals are accepted through Google Forms so you can't save an "in-process" proposal. We suggest that, before beginning your session proposal, you draft your responses to the following questions:

1. **What Conversational Strand best fits your proposal?** Classroom Practice; Leadership; Professional Development

2. **What is the conversational content?** For example, the strongest proposals are current topics of vital interest that identify student needs, how the practice meets those needs, and how results indicate student growth, and lead to further conversation.

3. **What are the conversational methods of delivering and sharing your session as well as involving the audience?** How will you make this a conversation, not just a presentation? Skypecast? Conversational Protocols? Building a wiki together? Google Docs? For more ideas, visit Stephanie Sandifer's post on Conference 2.0 Resources or the wiki page "Session Protocols".

4. **How will students have a voice in your session?**

5. **What are the benefits to the participants?** What will the participants take with them that will impact student learning?

Plan for a 75-minute session, and include multiple opportunities for conversation with all in the room.
 * The deadline for your submission is December 13, 2009, 11:59:59 p.m. MST**, and all successful applicants will be notified by January 8, 2010.

Thank you for sharing your successful experiences with us all! When you're ready to complete the proposal **CLICK HERE**.
