LAN Parties at Sutherland

The advantage to being in a brand spanking new school (and library:) is that you get to host really cool events. This week a second LAN - Learning at Night - Party was held. This was the brain child of Lesley Edwards and Bryan Hughes who picked up on the idea from Kim Cofino and Jeff Utecht. 50 to 70 teachers from around the school district, both elementary and secondary, have been attending. There has been mind-bending, inspiring, and energizing conversations about new teaching and learning practices based on presentations from the K-12 Online Conference. Once the presentations were viewed, we Skyped in the presenters from around the world, Bangkok, Sydney Australia, Kansas, California, Pennsylvania, and Saskatchewan, for a question/answer period. Very cool!!! We are hosting this unique professional development opportunity once a month. Check into what's happening at Innovative Learning - Learning at Night.
