As part of GETEX (Gulf Education &Training Exhibition) which is focused on bringing higher education options from around the world to students in the Middle East, the Global EdTech forum was held. The Global EdTech Forum is the region’s only dedicated conference for educational technology allowing educators at all levels, an exciting opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and gain information on the various applications of educational technology in schools, colleges and universities, and institutions.
XpertLearning conducted a session as part of the Speed Dating initiative whereby participants would group together speaking to top gurus around subjects like iPods in the Classroom, Blended Learning Environments, Google Docs for Collaboration and the Future of Learning Technologies.
Riham Khoury, a senior account manager at XpertLearning said, “It was fun and informal discussion with different groups of people exchanging ideas and watching videos about the future.”
Lynn N. Nolan Conference Program Chair & Senior Strategic Initiatives Officer, International Society for Technology in Education commenting on XpertLearning session said “The XpertLearning presentation really added to the Global Buffet (Speed Dating) segment of the Forum.” The feedback we received from delegates when we debriefed is that they wanted more of this type of session.
