What a great day at Lonestar Edubloggercon. It was the first time for me to attend the entire event. I made it to the last half of Edubloggercon at ISTE10 this past summer. I highly recommend this event to anyone who wants to have some amazing conversations. I think the "un"conference style really allows for so much more learning than a standard conference style presentation. All of the sessions I attended were informative and engaging. And all around fun to be a part of.

Learning Spaces discussion - #lsebc11
Sitting in a discussion at Lonestar Edubloggercon listening to David Jakes (@djakes) and Ryan Bretag (@ryanbretag) talking about learning spaces.
Where does learning happen? It should happen in the whole building.
Build the space you want teachers to work in, then bring them to that space to train them. Let them experience learning themselves in that space. Model the space with them. Don't just try to create the space and expect them to change.
What does it mean to be well educated? And what type of space allows that to happen? These are the questions that we should be asking.
Turn non-learning spaces into non-traditional learning spaces. Google learning streets to get some more ideas.
