=**The New Learning Ecology in Teacher Education 1:1 Classrooms**=
 * Session Overview**


 * I. Introduction to the New Learning Ecology in 1:1 settings (15 minutes)**

Goal of the session: To explore the New Learning Ecology (NLE) in teacher education 1:1 environments. 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.

What is the New Learning Ecology ?


 * II. Collaborative Inquiry Process - 50 minutes**

Collaborative Whole Group Inquiry Question: **How do 1:1 environments and related technologies affect teacher education?**

Working in three person groups research the questions with a special emphasis on the four conditions of the New Learning Ecology. When developing your question, pay special attention to your subject area or the classes you teach. Consider the following when developing your questions.
 * 1) How does access to information affect teaching and learning in your area?
 * 2) In what ways is teaching and learning personalized, made relevant or intensified?
 * 3) How is teaching repositioned in a new learning ecology?
 * 4) How is learning affected?

Represent your responses to the subtopics in a creative way (e.g., video clip, write sing a song, slide share, animated avatar, comic strip, surprise us, etc.) and post these response to your blog on the [|CED Ning].


 * III. Going Public (20 minutes)**

Take some time to review other groups' work. Leave some comments for the other groups given you experiences on this project and in your teaching and learning.


 * IV. Reflection - (25 minutes)**

Each group should reflect 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).

Each group should share 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)


 * IV. Where do we go from here? (10 minutes)**
