U.S. Under Secretary of Education Martha Kanter will deliver the keynote address during the Big Ideas Fest 2011 at 6:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, Dec. 4. The conference will be held at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay in Half Moon Bay, Calif.
In her remarks, Kanter will highlight how technology and innovation can transform education and boost quality and college completion. Big Ideas Fest 2011 is the third annual gathering of educators, innovators and students who meet to learn, collaborate and design new solutions for some of education’s most challenging questions.
Qatar Foundation International (QFI) will sponsor teachers from QFI’s Global Schools Network in the Americas and Qatar to attend the annual Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management (ISKME) Big Ideas Fest in Half Moon Bay, California.
It takes people with big ideas — and smart ways to implement them — to make any progress. And that’s the point of the Big Ideas Fest, held December 4-7 in Half Moon Bay, Calif., a gathering of leaders and innovators who will share their thoughts and tactics with educators and all those interested in education innovation.
