University and Public School Collaboration & Professional Development: Technology Integration Model for High School Graduates [Asynchronous]
This presentation is designed for University and K-20 faculty and administrators revealing the collaborative process and Technology Professional Development Plan (TPDP) developed in partnership between the School of Education at North Carolina Central University and Hillside High School in Durham, North Carolina. This partnership was developed in conjunction with a grant in the School of Education which provided funds and equipment for partnership and TPDP activities with public schools. The expected outcome of the partnership is to prepare students with necessary skills and tools for technologically enhanced high school graduation projects. Faculty members and administrators developed a TPDP for teachers and students at Hillside High School working to fulfill the requirements of the North Carolina High School Graduation Project for high school seniors in 2010. The TPDP activities include instruction in the development of web pages, podcasts, enhanced PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft Producer and the use of multimedia authoring tools.

International Connections: Experiences with TLT in Physics and Astronomy Education in Chile [Asynchronous]
The use of technology in teaching and learning is a topic of vital interest in many countries around the globe today. During 2008, I worked at the Universidad de La Serena, a public university in La Serena, Chile. My colleagues in the physics department were very interested in exploring TLT issues and we collaborated on several pedagogical projects for university physics and physics education classes. In this presentation I will share the results of our collaborations during my year in Chile as well as give an overview of some of the current efforts in Chile in incorporating technology in teaching and learning. In addition, our plans for using technology to help continue our collaborations and enhance cross-cultural experiences among faculty and students from different countries will be discussed.

How Can We Foster Collaboration Between K-20 Teachers? [Asynchronous]
Is collaboration possible between a history teacher in middle school, a community college professor and a university professor? Do we really teach different materials and processes in our disciplinary areas? This roundtable is proposed to initiate a conversation to examine whether this type of collaboration would be beneficial and how these teachers might leverage a common understanding of learning outcomes at each level to foster development of lifelong learners. Possible ideas for collaboration include common repositories of subject material that can be adapted; topic portfolios developed to span the complexity of key issues and problems; service learning platforms that support varying levels of learning objectives, etc.

Integration of Statewide Learning Technology [Tuesday]
For the past three years the University of North Carolina and North Carolina Community College Systems have collaborated on joint development of a variety of learning technologies. This presentation will highlight two of these collaborations, the North Carolina Learning Object Repository and the Open Source Collaborative Moodle Assessment and how they will be bundled together. These two resources are the first of a growing collection of complementary and compatible collection of learning and teaching applications that can enhance all K-20 instructional programs in North Carolina.

PD in 3DV: Disruptive Innovation? [Tuesday]
Can professional development in 3D online, virtual worlds disrupt the after-school workshop paradigm? We are exploring the use of Second Life as a medium for professional development that brings K-12 educators together for engaging conversations about important books like Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns by Christensen, Horn, and Johnson (2008). Plus we are hosting outstanding teacher leaders who share their innovations in learning and teaching. Our goal for this panel discussion is to create a compelling narrative as collaborators representing participating K-12 schools, the North Carolina Virtual Public School, NC Department of Public Instruction, and the United Star Distance Learning Consortium share their experiences and insights about professional development held in Second Life. We will include a demonstration by having our K-12 educators join the panel via Second Life. SL residents, please bring your laptops and join us in-world.

Teaching Through Digital Collaboration [Tuesday]
A demonstration of the North Carolina Learning Repository (NCLOR), an online collaborative effort consisting of representatives of the UNC system, Community Colleges, Department of Public Instruction, NC Virtual Public School, and the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. This session will showcase how it enables faculty and staff to utilize and contribute to digitized learning/teaching content. Functionality will be demonstrated by integration and access through a course management system, such as Blackboard or Moodle.
