WYSTC 2017 Montreal
Mobile Experiential Learning, Interdisciplinary Studies, Global Citizenship, and EdTech are just a few of the drivers that are changing the landscape in international education. “Teachers” are moving from “Sage on the Stage” to “Guide on the Side”, and a more globally-focused, integrated model is emerging. The advent of new technology is also changing the where, when and how of learning. In this brief overview, Leslie will discuss some ways to enhance travel experiences, examine new learning models, and look at how one school board is already on the road to changing the way education is delivered.
