201�� Living on the Future Edge

Today, in a world where change is the constant, you just can't believe your eyes. As a result, the true power of existing technologies can only be understood as part of the remarkable growth in computational speed and power that has occurred over the course of the past 50 years through the present to startling implications for tomorrow. This presentation traces the amazing continuum of development from the building based computers of yesterday to the astounding desktop devices of today. By carefully explaining the significance of four trends (Moore's Law, the emergence of the Internet, the Law of the Photon, and miniaturization) this presentation profoundly challenges your fundamental assumptions about new technology and where things are really going. It then challenges you to stand back from your assumptions about technology and consider how this will change the classroom, the curriculum, learning, instruction and even our fundamental definition of intelligence.

203�� New Directions in Learning: Teaching & Learning for the 21st Century

This presentation focuses on a fundamental shift in the basic paradigm of teaching that is required to prepare students for the new technological world. It provides a pragmatic look at current teacher practices and why they are becoming increasingly out of sync with our rapidly changing world. It then identifies principles and processes which transcend the new technologies. Participants will come away from the presentation with a clear understanding of how to address state standards, while at the same time, meet both their curricular goals and prepare students with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to meet the new realities of the 21st Century.

206�� The Restructuring of Education, the Future of Employment & the Challenge to Education

Fundamental structural changes are occurring in society. These changes are impacting virtually every aspect of our lives. This presentation will outline the remarkable changes occurring throughout society, with special focus on the impact to the world of work and critical role of education in addressing the central issues. As we head into the new millennium, these changes will lead to a workplace where, for the first time in our history, unskilled labor will no longer be an economic commodity. Education must quickly respond to these changes.

210���� How to Build a World-class Technology Environment in your Institution

This session will examine leadership, vision, core themes, strategic direction, and best practices, as building blocks for a model technology environment in the higher education institution. From student and administrative services to instructional technologies, swathe by the ether of a broadband telecommunications infrastructure, the higher educational institution's technology future can be a bright one. However, if the fundamental practices of teaching are ignored, the result is mission failure. Similarly, if the fundamental practices of managing technology go unobserved, the result is likewise catastrophic. The theme is one of shared responsibilities: beginning with the top administrator, senior administrators, department heads, and other senior staff and anchored by the institution's chief technology official.

Higher Education Enterprise Portals: Just a Pretty Face?  

Higher education institutions are under intense pressure to offer a full spectrum of online services through a simple, consistent Web-based interface. The enterprise portal is emerging as the key tool for meeting this demand. But do the commercial solutions now crowding this market really do the job at an acceptable price--even when they're free? This session will consider strategies and tactics for creating portals that present more than a "pretty face" to the connected world.
