The TIE Colorado/ISTE Leadership Bootcamp is an event designed to build understanding, facilitate conversations, and develop a framework for change. Leaders from all levels (school and district administrators, IT professionals, classroom teachers, librarians, district coordinators, and others) will engage in a day of learning and thinking that will lead to developing a working plan for improving communication and collaboration practices in their school or district.

The Bootcamp will be held on Friday, June 25, from 5-7pm and Saturday, June 26, 8-5 at the Denver Hyatt Regency Hotel prior to the ISTE 2010 conference in Denver. During the day, you'll have a chance to interact with other technology advocates as you learn from a panel of experts who embody effective communication and collaboration practices including:
The Leadership Bootcamp will include four areas of focus:
  • Creating and Maximizing Learning Networks
    • How does knowledge of the networks around us help us to work more effectively?
    • From your role, how can developing a learning network help you?
    • What learning networks are already there for you to join? 
    • What networks can you help to create/support/learn/grow?
  • Communication and Collaboration Tools
    • What can communications tools do for your organization?
    • What tools help us to better communicate? Which ones don't?
    • How are the tools of the read/write Web creating new opportunities for communication?
  • Communication and Collaboration Practices
    • How do we communicate?  Where?  When?  To Whom?
    • What considerations need to be at the forefront as you develop practices within your school or district community?
    • How might you create, facilitate, and encourage the use of digital spaces?
  • Building Policy to Support Vision
    • Thinking about your district and school vision, what policies are in place that either support or restrict your ability to communicate with digital tools?
    • What changes to your policies will help you reach your vision?

The Leadership Bootcamp will provide avenues for participants to explore and exchange ideas about what good digital communication and collaboration looks and sounds like from multiple perspectives. The Bootcamp day will include a selection of breakout sessions, a morning keynote by Jeff Piontek, a panel session and luncheon conversation moderated by Chris Lehmann and much more.  In addition, there are several free online events that will occur prior to June 26, including four virtual sessions hosted by Classroom 2.0 and online discussions centered around the Bootcamp themes:
