It is not too late to register and present at the Learner conference that will take place from 19 to 21 July at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu: Register and pay before 19 June. Returning members also get discount to this Common Ground conference.
The special focus of the conference is: New media for new learning and there are ten conference themes to choose from. They are: Pedagogy and curriculum, Assessment and evaluation, Educational organization and leadership, Early childhood learning, Learning in Higher Education, Adult, Community and Professional learning, Learner diversities and identities, Technologies in learning, Literacy in learning, and Science, maths and technology learning. Keynote speakers include Bill Cope, Mary Kalantzis, Dan Hoffman, Fuxing Liu, Arianna Eichelberger and Patricio Henriquez Ritchie.
This is a very large conference and therefore an excellent opportunity to broaden networks. The conference tour will be the 3 hour moderate Diamond head walking tour on 18 July and pre-registration will also take place in the lobby of the Hilton Double Tree hotel on Waikiki beach (the conference hotel) on the 18th of July. The conference dinner will be on 20 July and is promising to be a great event: 'The Starlight Luau is a unique feast of music, colour, food, and dance at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. The Luau features extravagant Lei greetings, Hula kahiko performers, acrobatic fire dancers, and authentic Hawaiian dining.'
I recently stayed at a few Double Tree hotels in the USA and enjoyed the large rooms, friendly service and beautiful bathrooms. And yes, the cookie is the cherry on top (in Seattle we arrived at 12:34 at night after a disastrous flight and the warm cookies were so comforting and nice).
