Wondering what to do for lunch today? Why not check out Dave Master's session "Connecting Classrooms to Prepare the 'Millennial' Generation for the Conceptual Age Economy?" Master, of The ACME Network, will examine ways to tap into the world of "anywhere-anytime access" and prepare students to succeed in the conceptual age economy.

Using the internet, teachers can harness the outside world and bring it into the classroom, including: professionals; experts; and aspiring college students and college educators. Learn how to take the My Space/YouTube generation from empty chat time to aspiration-building, meaningful skill development and principled interaction.

The session will be held from 12:00-1:30 p.m. in Tennessee Ballroom A/B. Sound good? Visit the NSBA Registration Desk in Delta Lobby B for more information or to purchase your tickets ($32 in advance).

If you want to follow up with even more information about how to reach this group of highly connected students, you can check out Douglas Levin's roundtable session, "Educating the MySpace Generation: Internet Safety and Literacy for the Web 2.0 World" from 3:00-4:00 in Delta C. The session will examine the quandry of "to block or not to block," as well as how to effectively use laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, and digital audio recorders in schools.
