=The New Learning Ecology in 1:1 Classrooms: What's Really Happening?=
 * Session Overview**

Goal of the session: To explore the New Learning Ecology (NLE) of the 1:1 environment we will engage in collaborative inquiry, represent our findings in a creative way, and compare & contrast our process with the 4 conditions of the new learning ecology.
 * I. Introduction of the Goal of the Session (3 minutes)**

a. Collaborative Inquiry Question: **How have different technologies become infused in our society?** (3 minutes)
 * II. Collaborative Inquiry Process - 50 minutes**

b. Each table group decides on a subquestion that they will address. E.g., What does it mean for technolgoy to be infused or scaled up? Which society are we referring to? What types of technologies do we want to focus on? How long has it taken different technologies to reach scale? (Display Table Number and Subquestion on frontscreen) (5 minutes - Karen)

c. Assign roles in your group: Facilitator, Archivist, Time Keeper, Reporter

d. Each table group answers a subquestion using the phases of the inquiry process; represent your information in a creative way (e.g., video clip, write sing a song, slide share, animated avatar, comic strip, surprise us, etc.); your Archivist will post the group's representation to his/her blog on the 1:1 Ning. and your Reporter for each group shares information visually and verbally. (42 minutes - John & Karen facilitate)

(We all join groups to help facilitate the process)

a. Each table group reflects on what happened in their inquiry process: Compare and contrast what happened in your group process with the 4 conditions of the New Learning Ecology (NLE). Generate ideas that need to be added to the New Learning Ecology (NLE) and record your ideas on Dr. Wiebe's computer. (10 minutes - Eric and Carl facilitate)
 * III.Reflection - 20 minutes**

b. Reporter for each group shares new ideas visually and verbally. (10 minutes - Carl and Eric facilitate and make observations about the types of ideas that were added to the initial model of the New Learning Ecology (NLE)
