I have recently confirmed that in mid November I will be travelling to Doha, Qatar to be part of the <\/strong>World Innovations Summit for Education<\/strong><\/a>, hosted by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the conference information the,<\/p>\n WISE Forum is a \u201cby invitation only\u201d event that will bring together 1,000 leading education figures from all disciplines, levels, supports and media coming from more than 50 countries and representing the 5 continents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Earlier this year I was invited to an event in London by the organisers but was unable to attend. So I was thrilled to receive one of only a thousand invites<\/a> for the summit.\u00a0I would like to think that I will attend the conference as one of the representatives for UK education and will have the opportunity to meet with some equally passionate people from around the world.<\/p>\n As I understand it the invite was as a result of someone reading my blog and I suppose it is a small reward for me and this space and the time and effort I have put in over the last 3 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n I was sceptical whether I would be able to have the time away from school, but understood that you don’t get many opportunities like this either. With the support of my family and headteacher I have decided to go.<\/p>\n I have signed up for a range of interesting workshops and breakout sessions across the three days.<\/p>\n I think that I will enjoy many of these and feel that with my experiences I would also be able to contribute substantially to the discussions that take place.<\/p>\n It has been mentioned that Biz Stone<\/a>, the co-founder of Twitter, is attending. If I get the chance to talk with him I will be sure to explain how transformational Twitter has become for teacher’s professional development across the world. Saying that, let’s hope<\/a> the whole conference gets that already. If they don’t you can guess who will be banging that particular drum.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have recently confirmed that in mid November I will be travelling to Doha, Qatar to be part of the World Innovations Summit for Education, hosted by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wp_convertkit_post_meta":{"form":"-1","landing_page":"0","tag":"0","restrict_content":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[729],"class_list":["post-422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wise","tag-wise","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edte.ch\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
