The 2010 CRSTE Global Symposium is a completely free, completely online high-quality professional development event for all educators, around the world, from preschool through higher education.
CRSTE is offering an alternative to the traditional model of professional development believing that "the concept of professional development offerings as formal, face-to-face, one-size-fits-all events is an industrial-aged notion that does not match the realities of the twenty-first century".
Indeed, the 2010 CRSTE Global Symposium follows on from the successful 2-week online CyberConference held in February this year, which attracted "2,372 attendees from forty states and six continents".
You can start preparing for the Symposium by checking out the four asynchronous sessions, which will be available throughout the conference:
- CRSTE Teacher Tools Wiki with Allison Kipta
- Twenty-first Century: A New Dawn with Harry Tetteh
- How to Lead as an Agent of Change: 21st Century Skills in Motion with Christina Parsons Bentheim
- iPod Project Lessons Learned with Chris O’Neal
