About the conference

LEARN NC is excited to host educators from all over the state at our fall 2009 conference. This year’s conference takes a hybrid format, making it possible for more educators to participate than ever before. The day is divided into morning and afternoon sections, with virtual participation options available for those who can’t make the trip to Chapel Hill.

The morning section consists of two face-to-face interactive sessions at the Center for School Leadership Development in Chapel Hill. Registration is open for a limited number of participants who will be physically present with us at the CSLD to explore new ideas in teaching and learning using LEARN NC. These are face-to-face sessions only, and will not be available via web conferencing as is the case with the afternoon sessions. Morning face-to-face participants will remain with us at the CSLD for the afternoon sessions.

The afternoon section will be completely available online for remote participants via web-conferencing software. This format enables a larger number of participants to interact live with those of us in Chapel Hill. Remote participants may join us from the comfort of their desks — or wherever they access the internet.

Who should attend

Teachers, media specialists, technology coordinators, professional development coordinators, administrators, and other leaders in curriculum and instruction will all benefit from this conference. Whether you are teaching students in the classroom, or working at the school or system level developing curriculum and delivering professional development, the LEARN NC fall conference will provide new ideas and identify opportunities for collaboration to help you make the best use of your scarcest resource… time!

Conference agenda

The day will consist of a variety of sessions, including two hands-on interactive sessions in the morning for face-to-face participants, and afternoon sessions that cover topics including best practices in online teaching, teaching “digital natives,” and implementing project-based learning in your classroom.
