Change Takes Gears
The theme for the next upcoming TeachME conference in Dubai in November 2009 will address a very crucial development in teaching.
Children’s learning speed has been rising rapidly, their sources of knowledge are fast, reliable, and even customisable. Social networks and electronic devices are means of super-fast interaction and communication. Their demands for mental stimulation far exceed those that are now provided by their teachers. They are getting bored in class.
This is an issue that we believe should be addressed seriously.
The aim of the conference is to address these issues, and explore at possible solutions.
Post your suggestions and comments here. They will be very valuable.

Evaluation – Speak your mind
We put a great deal of importance on the feedback we receive from you and the evaluations you fill during the conference.
We make sure that the evaluations are anonymous so as to allow our participants to be as transparent as possible. This year, we are giving our participants the option to share their feedback with the public. All evaluations will be posted.
We hope that you would share your thoughts so that future participants may get a “real” feel of what to expect.
Thank you all.
