INFORMATION NOW

Alright, we should not talk big before things happen, but sometimes in life you get that feeling... 

Somehow, I got that feeling when I joined iPTA-iPad (and Tablets) for Academicians Facebook group (invited by the electrifying Prof. Karim). Since late 2008, I have been dreaming (passively) about collaborating with a core group of passionate educators in Malaysia to really transform education for the better (without much luck!). 

But, then I stumbled upon this Facebook group, and the rest is history in the making (Hopefully!).  When I joined the group, they were passionately planning to conduct a TEDx session, but then I opened my big mouth (Devils Advocate)! Within a short period, the TEDx idea was history. TEDx is great, but it doesnt really fit into our mission. 

 

While TEDx is often associated with Big Ideas and Changing the World, we are thinking about creating multiple venues (Face-to-face, Webinars, Second Life, etc.) for sharing learning stories on how to use technology (e.g. using iPad apps) to transform the way we learn and teach. Small ideas matter as much as big ideas! And importantly, you dont have to be out of this world to present. Everyone is welcome, as long as you think you have a learning innovation to share (small or big!). 

Welcome to...

  

LEARNING INNOVATION TALKS 

As a result, we used our collective intelligence to conceptualize Learning Innovation Talks.
