Matt Federoff - CIO, Vail School District, AZ is presenting "Beyond Textbooks" - http://beyondtextbooks.org
At Empire High School in Vail, Ariz., students use computers provided by the school to get their lessons, do their homework and hear podcasts of their teachers’ science lectures. And throughout the district, a Beyond Textbooks initiative encourages teachers to create — and share — lessons that incorporate their own PowerPoint presentations, along with videos and research materials they find by sifting through reliable Internet sites.

Clay Shirky - Clay is a NYU professor, author and Web 2.0 expert who talks about how to manage a social community for learning. Clay's book Here Comes Everybody talks about how social communities are changing the way people interact. We have asked Clay to adapt that information to Learning and how students are using social trends in learning contexts. Clay will moderate a panel of students as reverse mentors to the educators and discuss how students learn today and then close out the saturday with a keynote on social communities impact on learning and getting the most of today's technologies for learning
