Facilitated by Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay, this session is a virtual link-up with the Flat Classroom Conference in Doha, Qatar and Educon 2.1 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. This event is also our official kick-off event for our FutureofEducation.com interview series, sponsored by the KnowledgeWorks Foundation and with support from Elluminate!
There will an opportunity for audience members from all parts of the world to interact with the teams and ask questions. There will also be a final poll to determine a winning team of the debate.
Our Elluminate session will be open an hour early if beginners want help, and in the hopes of re-streaming a Thomas Friedman interview taking place on EdTechTalk.
