Short Session Description (one line): Introduction to a new online community and forum providing space for global discussion and collaboration on topics of education.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
Around the world the questions posed, discussions engaged in, and arguments that ensue over education are often the same. The different priorities, approaches, and mindsets boil down to one main idea: what does the best education look like and how can we provide it?
Realization of this goal requires the time, thought, and input of diverse sources. This is how improvements can be made. The WorldEdInformant forum, serves to create a community of members from around the globe in sharing, questioning, and learning about topics of education that have arisen as a common thread.
This forum seeks to bring together what works in education from around the globe with the hopes of promoting knowledge and stronger educational practices in our schools. Instead of often reinventing the wheel in this session we will discuss ways to bolster communication and collaboration within our global community. We will identify key pressing issues, and discuss the benefits and potential challenges to bridging communication barriers between diverse sources and experts.
I look forward to your engagement and input in this growing community.
