EDXEDNYC CALL FOR PROPOSALS! The EDxEDNYC 2015 Conference seeks to provide a forum for conversation, networking and designthinking for New York City educators. This conference is for educators by educators, with a focus on student engagement, inquiry, blended-learning, project-based learning, travel, multiple-access points, elective programming, restorative justice, reflective leadership and design-thinking within our schools. Sessions will be less presenation and more conversation, so we can learn from our vast and collective experiences.
90-Minute conversation sessions Want to facilitate a conversation? Submit your proposal today! EDxEDNYC is seeking educators to faciliate meaningful discussions about current topics in public school education. The idea is to use conversation practice, rather than a presentation model to foster a dialogue with your attendees. Examples of conversational practice include: use of protocols, digital interfaces, co-creating a product, hands-on activities, etc. Submit your proposal today at www.edxednyc.com.
