Ten Reasons to Attend the Global Education Conference 2010

As I write this post, there are 10 days to the start of this amazing and almost incredulous event. The number ten in English is more commonly written as 10 and some significance could be read into this. The number 10 is made up of two digits, and could be interpreted as :- the 0 represents our globe and the number 1 represents our membership of one global community. As educationalists, we are also one, with a common goal of creating lifelong learners. This is despite our different cultures, religions, ideologies, languages etc. Therefore, let's look at 10 reasons to attend the Global Education Conference 2010. (Oh, the number 10 even appears at the end of the year). This exciting online conference takes place from November 15 - 19, 2010.

Here are just ten reasons why you should attend:-

  1. Be part of this amazing, pioneering, innovative and as some would even say 'impossible' conference which has presenters and participants from across global regions all potentially meeting in real time.
  2. Make your own global connections for educational activities and initiatives.
  3. All you need is internet access. Sessions are held elluminate - an online meeting room which allows you to ask questions, add input, seek advice, interact and share with both the presenters and other participants.
