President Obama’s 2010 Back to School Speech

Kelly Tenkely1 Comment on President Obama’s 2010 Back to School Speech3475 views

President Obama is giving his 2010 Back to School Speech today at 1PM ET.  This is an opportunity for the President to speak to students about the importance of education and encourage them as they start back to school.  Last year the President petitioned students to remember that “Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.”

The speech will be offered with live streaming from CNN and WhiteHouse.gov.  I am also offering live streaming below:

What it is: The Winter Olympics is here!  There is so much learning to be done.  In my computer lab, my students will be completing the following assignment using Shidonni and various Olympic websites for research.  I have created a Weebly site as a research landing page for students.


Please leave a comment and share how you are using the Winter Olympics 2010 as a learning event in your classroom.

Learning 2.0 A Colorado Conversation

What it is:

“Education is conversation. Conversation creates change.

The future of education does not exist in an isolated world of theory conveyed through abstract conference sessions. Instead, it exists in conversations that begin with a robust learning network that is ever-expanding and just-in-time. Learning 2.0 is not the beginning of this conversation, rather it is a stopping point; a time to talk about the visible difference that we all seek. We read. We reflect. We write. We share. We learn. Come join us for a day of conversation about learning and technology.”

Learning 2.0 A Colorado Conversation is “ a conference/unconference/meetup for teachers, administrators, students, school board members, parents, community, and anyone else who is interested in education. There is NO COST for attendees to join the conversation.” Participants can attend in person or virtually.  This year Learning 2.0 takes place on Saturday, February 20 at Loveland High School.  Learning 2.0 is in it’s third year.  I attended for the first time in 2009 and throughly enjoyed the conversation, learning, and collaboration.  You can’t beat the price (free) and even luch is included (who says there is no such thing as a free lunch?!).  Sessions range from leadership, classroom practice, to professional development.  Round Table discussions end the day (I am hosting one of these).


Tips: Be sure to register for the event here and add your name to the attendee list here.  I look forward to the conversation and hope you will join us (in person or virtually).


Are you joining the conversation?
