The 2010 Global Education Conference is a collaborative effort to significantly increase opportunities for globally-connecting education activities and initiatives. That is why, Earth Charter International is joining this effort.
The conference will be held online November 15 – 19, 2010 in the Elluminate (now Blackboard Collaborate) platform. Sessions will be free, broadcast live in multiple time zones and multiple languages, and available in recorded formats afterwards.
The call for presentations is still open, so don’t miss the chance to participate! Presentation proposals are being accepted at: www.globaleducationconference.com
Conference presentations will be categorized in five tracks: Teacher, Student, Curricular, Policy and Leadership, and Global Issues. Particular emphasis will be given to global inclusion and practical teacher application, and the intention is that all serious proposals be given the opportunity to be presented. Keynote speakers will be announced in October.
The conference co-chairs are Lucy Gray and Steve Hargadon. Lucy Gray is an Apple Distinguished Educator and Google Certified Teacher, and founder of the Global Education Collaborative network (http://globaleducation.ning.com). Steve Hargadon is Elluminate's Social Learning Consultant, founder of the Classroom 2.0 social network (www.classroom20.com), and host of the Future of Education interview series (www.futureofeducation.com).
