Historic Live Online Educational Event in Partnership with Third Annual Global Education Conference
The annual iEARN International Conference and Youth Summit will be held Monday, November 12 through Friday, November 16, 2012. It will be held in conjunction with the third annual Global Education Conference, creating an historic free week-long online event bringing together educators and innovators from around the world. The entire conference, which may include upwards of 10,000+ participants, will be held online using the Blackboard Collaborate platform (formerly known as Elluminate/Wimba).
The collaboration between the iEARN conference and the Global Education Conference will provide a collaborative, inclusive, world-wide community initiative involving students, educators, and organizations at all levels. It is designed to significantly increase opportunities for building education-related connections around the globe while supporting cultural awareness and recognition of diversity.
The conference seeks to present ideas, examples, and collaborative projects related to connecting educators and classrooms with a strong emphasis on promoting global awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards solving real–world problems. Through this event, attendees will challenge themselves and others to become more active citizens of the world. Participants are encouraged to learn, question, create, and engage in meaningful, authentic opportunities within a global context!
Starting in 1994, the annual iEARN Conference has been traditionally a physical event, held in a different country every year. Through this innovative partnership, participation in the combined conference will potentially enable tens of thousands of educators and youth to engage in interaction and sharing on an unprecedented level.
The Call for Proposals for the 2012 Global Education Conference and Virtual iEARN International Conference and Youth Summit is now open. While the final deadline for submissions is October 15, 2012, presenters will be notified of acceptance on a rolling basis starting June 30, 2012.
