You're invited - virtually! HP, in collaboration with the
International Society for Technology in Education, invites educators around the
world to participate remotely in the 2010 HP Innovations in Education Worldwide
Summit. I hope you can join us - let me tell you how...
As part of my responsibilities in the HP Office of Global Social Innovation
(what I affectionately refer to as "corporate philanthropy version
3.0"), I organize a convening of HP grant recipients from around the
world. It's a professional networking and professional development experience
that aims to accelerate the success of our new grant recipients.
This year, more than 100 educators from 60 higher education and 20 secondary
education institutions in 23 countries, will be attending the summit in
person as part of their 2009 HP Innovations in Education grant. The event is
scheduled for 22-24 February and includes opportunities to learn
from education experts and innovation thought leaders such as Michael Horn
(co-author of "Disrupting Class"), Georges Haddad (UNESCO, Higher Education initiatives), Phil McKinney (HP
Innovation "guru" www.philmckinney.com),
David Williamson Schaffer (www.epistemicgames.org), ...and students as they discuss how social media impacts
their learning experience.
This year, we're opening the "virtual"
doors to remote participants. You can join the excitement by participating in
interactive webcasts, a virtual poster session contest, and following the event
on Twitter (#hpiie).
To participate, visit the Summit
community at www.hpiie.org to
download details about the speakers and the agenda. Instructions for remote
participation will be available by the 15th of February.
I hope to "see" you there!
