Conference Structure

Extend your learning in two extended sessions.  We go above and beyond to seek out cutting edge practitioners who are skillful presenters.  Our extended sessions aim to foster creativity whilst focusing on the practical guidance you can apply on your first day back from the conference.  Our extended sessions empower the collective wisdom of your colleagues. Come ready to collaborate and innovate with an inspired cohort of learning engineers.

The extended sessions will be held on Friday and on Saturday and each participant will choose two options upon registration.

By Teachers, For Teachers means listening to teachers.

There are so many pressing questions to debate,  and concerns to consider. This year we are proud to introduce “L2Threads.”

What is it?
Protected time to get together and dig in to a question you’ve always wanted to do more with.

How will my voice be considered?
On registration –  add potential questions to our list, or vote for those you want to give priority to. Before start of conference choose your L2 Thread from the selection of the top 15-20 topics as developed through the voting platform. 

Why is it?
We know that time is your most precious resource, and we want to make time for you to weave ideas together with educators from around the region. We know that conversation is a tool, and we value what many threads of questioning and discussion can mean for education.

 

 

This is not a conference where you will sit and be lectured at by one person for an hour.  Rather, we know that educators can do much with a little inspiration.  The L2 Talks is our way of igniting that flame so that the sessions and workshops you attend can fuel them further.  Each L2 talk is short, passionate, and relevant. Check out what Learning2 Leaders have shared in years past by touring our playlist on Youtube available here.

Participant-led workshops are an integral part of any Learning2 conference. These hour-long workshops are submitted and approved in advance and special consideration is given to those that support the conference theme.

Applications are open to fully registered participants and are part of the registration process. Details on how to apply will be sent to you with your registration confirmation.

An unconference is an opportunity for you to take charge of the learning. In a traditional conference setting, the session topics are decided in advance by the conference committee and you, the participant, need to choose the workshop that is the best fit.

In an unconference, all of the sessions are proposed while the conference is happening! If you’ve just been introduced to a topic or tool and want to explore it further, propose it as an unconference session. If there is an idea that you have that you’d like to bounce off of other people, propose it as an unconference session. If you’d like to get some classroom partners at other schools to work with you on an upcoming unit, propose it as an unconference session. These are just some ideas. Anything can be proposed as an unconference session. You, the participants, are in total control of your learning.

As unconference sessions are being proposed, other participants will vote on the ones that sound interesting to them. You can vote for as many sessions as you like. If it is something that you would like to attend, walk by and put a tick on the proposal sheet. The proposals that receive the most votes will be given a time and place, and anybody who is interested in discussing that topic can attend. If the unconference workshop that you were hoping to go to doesn’t get enough interest, maybe you can find at least one other person to chat with about it and you can make your own unconference session!

Once the session gets going, it is up to the participants to drive the conversation and learning forward. There may or may not be an ‘expert’ in the room. Unconferencing is about exploring and being an active learner and about everybody helping the other participants in their session.

What is it?

Meditative moments to restore your mind and body. We will offer a range of experiences to help you feel ready to dive back into the learning.

How might I ‘L2uneUp’?
During lunch we will provide spaces to engage with relaxing music, or try a bit of origami.  We know different people have different ways of finding calm, that’s why we will try to offer several options.

Why is it?
We know that truly engaging and transformative learning demands the best energy and we want to help you find balance throughout your time with us.
