About Summit

 

What do we want to achieve?

The 2006 Global Summit for international and national educational leaders, thinkers and teachers will promote the strategic development of technology connected futures.

Hosted by education.au limited, debate and discussion will be centred around the themes of:

  • Elearning in education and training
  • Careers in a connected environment
  • Designing educational web services
  • Understanding transformation in education
  • Emerging trends in a connected world.

Structure

A panel of education leaders and thinkers will play a role in stimulating participants thinking and devising creative solutions.

Speakers include Professor James Bosco, and Dr Robert Cailliau, co-developer of the World Wide Web. Speakers' presentations will serve as a basis for round table discussions led by thought leaders. Discussions will focus on new ways of learning, the construction of knowledge, communities of practice, distributed access to resources, and networks of learning.

Why contribute to the Summit?

This is an innovative event that quite deliberately challenges the traditional conference format in the interests of supporting learning, networking and the development of practical strategies for a technology connected world. It provides an opportunity to:

  • impact on 350 decision makers, many of whom represent major education markets in Australia and Asia, plus a significant number of online participants;
  • learn more about, and from, members;
  • draw attention to areas that should be of concern to these groups · be in on the ground floor as members of these groups forge alliances to address issues of concern to all
