Dear Customer,
Welcome to 'Cisco on Tuesday', the first weekly business and technology web event in the region.
This week's program discusses Education in the 21st Century.
Technology is not a panacea for the problems facing K-12 schools today. However, when intelligently applied, it can empower education leaders to deliver the twenty-first century skills that students need to succeed in today's world.
This 30-minute broadcast shows you why and how schools need to change, discusses ways to achieve this goal, and reveals how network technology is helping K-12 schools throughout the world to enact transformation.
Ken Kay, President and co-founder of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, provides highlights of major societal trends, how they are affecting education, and the skills that students need today to thrive.
Keith Krueger, CEO of the Coalition on School Networking, (CoSN) will discuss the importance of developing a clear vision and how to create a practical plan to implement that vision. Keith will also explain why technology alone is not enough - schools need to change their processes to see real benefits.
You'll see real-world examples of how school districts across North America are using technology, and a thought-provoking panel discussion with senior district administrators on creating the 21st century school.
Finally, John Chambers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cisco will share his views on what skills students should have to succeed in the workplace and how education and the internet are becoming the great equalizers in today's global economy.
We look forward to your attendance and feedback.
Best Regards,
Cisco Gulf
