WHY ATTEND THE SUMMIT?
The future is uncertain. While your students will grow up to be in the same demanding world as you did, the demands will have changed. It's very unlikely that the same skill required 10 years ago will be the same skill demanded by employers 10 years from now. The future generations will have to know how to solve problems critically, work creatively to innovate old ideas, communicate their ideas effectively and collaborate with various individuals to build a healthy and productive working environment. While your teaching and classroom practices may be preparing you students for that future, there's no denying how much we can get them prepared and ready even more with the help of education technology.
But technology is always regarded a scary thing. How does it work? How can it help? How can you use it? And most importantly, how can it benefit your learners? To answer these questions, you may need to meet teachers who have been utilizing technology and learn from them (or work with them). Such opportunities, usually in form of education technology conferences and summit, can be impossible for you for various reasons. Attending one may require you to take days off to travel to another country, pay a huge cost for the attendance ticket, or even if the two requirement is not an issue; what if you ended up in a summit for advance education technology practitioners that you ended up the only newbie there?
Enter GEG of Johor Education Summit - we have gathered all levels of knowledge and proficiency in working with education technology and Google Apps for Education so you can find a learning platform geared to your level, your location and your cost and time constraint. We provide hands-on sessions where you can learn both the fundamentals and the advance skills of utilizing the best technology to fit your classroom. Our facilitators are teachers like you and we can empathize the challenges you face in your classroom. Our welcoming, non-formal training atmosphere allows plenty of time for you to meet other like minded teachers to expand your education technology social circle. And, on top of it all, our summit is FREE.
