>Making a Difference
>
>ICLS is the official conference on the International Society of the
>Learning Sciences. Over
>
>the last two decades the Learning Sciences community has developed
>powerful technological
>
>tools, effective curricular interventions, and innovative theories for
>understanding and improving
>
>the teaching and learning process. While Learning scientists present rich
>accounts of learning
>
>in complex contexts, convincing policy makers, teachers, and other
>researchers of the
>
>theoretical and practical value of our work is not a straightforward
>process. We must show
>
>impact at the local level while at the same time, work to have claims of
>more global significance.
>
>In other words, we must make clear that the learning sciences make a
>difference.
>
>The theme for ICLS 2006 is making a difference. We focus on demonstrating
>how our
>
>work is making a difference: to students, teachers, schools, and policy
>makers; to research
>
>methods; to theories and models of learning, instruction, and assessment.
>We anticipate lively
>
>discussions among scientists from around the world. The conference will
>take place at Indiana
>
>University in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana. We look forward to seeing
>you there.
