Charting the Course of Teaching and Learning in a Networked World

TEDxFutureEd.com -- Seeking organizing committee members and speakers.

We are looking to organize global TEDxFutureEd events and we are looking for individuals that would be interested in being part of a global organizing committee.

If you are interested join the fan page and let me know your interest.

I have made a request for Steve to join and promote this project as part of The Future of Education Ning. LearningTown Ning has offered to promote us by setting up a subgroup Ning . Here is our LinkedIn TEDx FutureEd subgroup that is part of EDUIT's e3.0 group. e3.0 or education 3.0. eSingularity bring the moment in human history when e3.0 occurs.

I am looking to identify a TEDx committee that will work with me to contact TEDx organizers to host TEDx FutureEd events in their regions over the next 3 yrs. The goal is to have TEDx FutureEd UK, TEDx FutureEd USA, etc... a common theme for all events needs to be how do we bring eSingularity -- the moment education is free and accessible to everyone about. TEDxFutureEd will be a forum to change a cultural paradigm that thinks of education as a commodity to the paradigm that education is a natural right afforded to all and not just the privileged few.

Your thoughts?

Michael

Hi, Michael,

I'm Ioana, and I'm right now on a research project for a company called EON Reality looking to gathering information in the field of learning technologies. I'm also assigned for a larger Virtual Learning Symposium Tour on learning in multi-user environments. I'm a big TED fan and would love to collaborate !
Cheers,
Ioana

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
