NMC Campus Observer Note… You can watch this Metanomics show live at Outreach (87, 125, 34) on NMC Campus

Metanomics will explore the 2010 Virtual Symposium – Education for Everyone: Expanding Access Through Technology on March 10, with two key members of the symposium on the show.

Metanomics host Robert Bloomfield will interview Dr. Rebecca Clothey and Dr. Kristen Betts on Wednesday, March 10 at 12pm PST and will discuss the virtual symposium, it’s creation and goals. They will also attempt to address the same questions the symposium will ask, such as how has technology increased or decreased equality in education in your community? What initiatives and technologies have been used successfully to enable access to previously underserved students? What role can government policies and public/private partnerships play in creating a success?

From their site:

Hosted by Drexel University in Philadelphia, Wainhouse Research and the World Bank’s Global Development Learning Network in Beijing, this virtual symposium will bring practitioners and scholars around the globe together online to share successes and challenges in utilizing technology to enable better access to K-12, Higher, and continuing education.

With over 70 million children in the world not able to attend school due to financial, social, or physical challenges, the symposium hopes advances in technology, access and collaboration will bring about a revolution in education.
