Invitation+and+Registration

Barry will work with our account executives and region managers to identify and invite school districts similar to KCKPS, though there may be some exceptions as well. **If you have relationships with districts you think or know would be interested in attending, please let me know.** When participants register, we will ask them to select a school to visit on Thurs morning. For the invitation we'll need to have determined which schools and departments or classrooms we want to feature. Hopefully the groups will sort out to be similar sizes, but we'll have to deal with that once they've registered. Other notes and ideas:

Brief Info about Laptops for Learning:

In November, 2007, the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools became the first school district in the Metro KC area to distribute a laptop computer to every high school student. This bold initiative, to give students the tools and preparation necessary to succeed in the 21st Century, has drawn attention from across the country. Even more than giving students access to technology, the district is aiming to use Apple Macbooks to change teaching and learning, to help students move beyond being mere “consumers” of information, to becoming authors and producers of content and knowledge.
