The Nov. 1 deadline for submitting presentation proposals to annual education conference EduCon is quickly approaching. Spread the word to any educators or experts keen on leading a conversation. Topics should focus on the changes that technology is making in the classroom. In case it helps, here are EduCon’s five guiding axioms.

• Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members.
• Our schools must be about co-creating — together with our students — the 21st Century Citizen.
• Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around.
• Technology must enable students to research, create, communicate and collaborate.
• Learning can — and must — be networked.

EduCon will be held Jan. 25-27 at the Science Leadership Academy (SLA). Register here.
