Open EdTech 2009
After the success of Open EdTech 2008, the EdTech annual meeting about educational technology comes back for next October with a similar formula: a small group of around 40 open, educational and technology experts that gets together to share best practices, as the basis for discussions to help identify future education and technology needs and trends for next-generation educational and learning environments. This year, Open EdTech also counts on the New Media Consortium (NMC) as co-sponsor of the activity.
Some of the sessions will be videotaped and shared with the community.
As a starting point for the Open EdTech meeting, we provide you with the Open EdTech 2008 report, What does it mean to be educated in the 21st century?
