Global Education Collaborative Conference November 15-19

Thu, 04 Nov 2010 10:58:43 -0400

There is a free online global education conference coming up! Here's an update on where things stand. There will be over 300 general sessions scheduled (now searchable, thanks to yolink technology), including 30+ keynotes featuring educators and policy makers who are on the leading edge of global collaborative education. Please join my conference co-chair, Steve Hargadon, and myself during the week of November 15-19 to participate. This also coincides with International Education Week and Geography Awareness Week, so it's a great time to go global! The conference will take place in a video conferencing tool called Elluminate. Presenters share web links and slides while participants listen to an audio feed and chat in the accompanying chatroom. All sessions will be recorded and archived, so if you miss a session you'll be able to view it at your leisure. We'll also have an open Global Education Lounge in which participants can drop by to network with others or to receive help.
