October 27, 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Welcome: Roy
Pea, CILT Director, SRI International Keynote: Inside the
Tornado: The dynamics of social values and technological change underlying
the new economy
Dr. Roberta Katz--CEO of Article III, Inc. and recent TechNet leader--is at once high tech CEO, lawyer, and cultural anthropologist. Dr. Katz will open CILT2000 by helping us to unpack the complex issues of learning technologies, equity, and new economy workplace readiness, and will share current and planned programmatic responses that go far beyond "wiring the schools" to address the deeper needs of schools and communities. Interactive panel: Rethinking
the "Digital Divide" Many recent studies document growing inequities in access to technical resources and the opportunities they represent. In this session, panelists will offer contrasting views of the challenges that underlie these phenomena and—with the help of conference participants—evaluate policy levers that may convert challenge to opportunity.
Friday afternoon
and Saturday, October 27 and 28: Beginning on Friday afternoon, conference participants will convene in Theme Team workshops to share important work to date, build a common vision of the current "state of the art," and identify critical issues for the field to tackle. These sessions will continue on Saturday with in-depth evaluation of policy issues related to equity within the theme, and specific opportunities to plan funded collaborative projects in areas of common interest.

Friday
evening dinner, 7:30 PM: This dinner event is dedicated to the spirit of Jan Hawkins, who passed away in 1999 after an influential 20-year career in learning technology research and systemic educational change. Our goal is not only to remember but to learn: what lessons do her playful yet sophisticated approaches to learning technologies hold for those of us who continue to strive for creativity and equity in our own work? Through remarks from close colleagues and images of children who continue to benefit from her legacy, we will try to characterize Jan's powerful insights into the worlds of children, technology, and equity. Speakers:
Saturday afternoon,
October 28, 3:45 - 5:00 PM: Panel: Legislative Initiatives
in Technology and Equity How are federal and state governments responding to issues of technology and equity? In this discussion of new and emerging legislation and policy initiatives, a panel of representatives from the Hill, public interest groups, and state governments will offer important insights into the dynamics of learning technology policy.
Sunday morning,
October 29, 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Panel: Systemic Approaches
to Learning Technology Evaluation The PCAST report calls for an integrated national approach to learning technology research and evaluation—but how? This panel of research and evaluation experts will present recommendations for a portfolio of studies representing a new degree of rigor and scale for the next decade of learning technology research. Panel:
Future Directions for Technology Research Funding This panel of senior representatives from funding agencies and private foundations will share insights into current funding opportunities and future directions. Their goal is to stimulate stronger and more innovative learning technology research proposals. Demo session: Meet the
Kids! This session provides grounding in what’s really important: students and the outcomes they were able to achieve when innovative programs and technologies gave them the chance to learn in new ways. We’ve invited a host of students from several exemplary projects in area schools to demonstrate their work and talk about what they learned. This session is concurrent with the Future Directions panel. Student demos will continue through a break to allow viewing by participants attending the panel.
Conference Synthesis: CILT
PIs Any intense learning experience should end with time to reflect on what was learned. Allan Collins will help close the conference by facilitating and synthesizing observations of where we have been, what we learned, and where we agree to go—together—from here.
