Seminars - Shaping Technology to Educate a Knowledge Generation

Today, we live in an accelerating world. We see the global markets becoming knowledge economies enabled by new technologies. Educators’ face the challenge of preparing tomorrow’s workforce and leadership, yet our schoolrooms and teaching practices can lag behind in the use of those same technologies, which can enhance and accelerate the learning experience.

Lila Ibrahim, General Manager of the Emerging Markets Platform Group for Intel will share with us how they are applying research, knowledge and expertise to developing solutions that are designed and purpose built for teachers and classrooms as opposed to business offices. She will share her experiences and thoughts on creating total solution learning systems that fit, from big picture national objectives down to local classroom needs.

Guests joining her with their insights will be:

Michael Scott, a teacher from Portland Oregon who has been using the technologies Lila will discuss.

David Martin, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Smart Technologies, sharing some dynamic solutions to ignite the education experience and illustrate classroom technology potential.
