The Keynotes
If you despise shameless name-dropping, skip to the next session because our keynotes warrant some serious name-dropping. Our first keynote is with Connie Yowell, the CEO of LRNG. LRNG is a leader in Connected Learning and brings together school, business, community and even city partners to provide equitable access to learning opportunities that go beyond the bells of class time experiences. If you’ve heard of the Cities of LRNG initiatives, that’s Connie and her organization. Prior to her current role, she was Director of Education at the MacArthur Foundation (yes, that MacArthur Foundation:)
The second keynote is a State of the Badge Union panel, featuring some of the biggest movers and shakers in the micro-credentials ecosystem. Our moderator is Sarah Thomas, co-founder of the #BadgeChatK12 weekly twitter chat as well as EduMatch and many other noteworthy projects to help educators. Joining Sarah is an all-star panel that includes
Back by popular demand, the Dream Makers’ Lounge is a design space staffed by facilitators with Badge implementation experience. The purpose of this space is to provide attendees who are dreaming about Badges with an opportunity to actually sit down with these skilled facilitators and accomplish design work to make those dreams happen by beginning to build a Badge System for their own schools and districts. The Dream Makers' Lounge will be open during all 3 of the afternoon breakout sessions.
