This year’s Advance, “Turning on Learning in the 21st Century Classroom,” will focus on the importance of developing the new literacies of the 21st Century and how faculty are using emerging teaching tools to engage today’s learner, P-12 and at the college level.

The conference format will be a panel town hall discussion in the morning followed by an “edutaining” lunch presentation and a menu of interest driven model lessons and associated discussions in the afternoon led by public school and university faculty around new media tools for teaching and learning including: SecondLife, Web 2.0 applications, Wiki’s, Blogging, VodCasting, and social networking tools.
