CIGL is designed to bridge applied learning and international education. At the three-day conference, you’ll connect with colleagues in lively discussion related to best practices, emerging research, and future trends that link education and employability!

How do we enable inclusive and agile technology leadership to drive innovation? While school systems are modernizing their digital ecosystems, the warp speed at which new technologies are emerging has created a K-12 technology environment drastically different from just a few years ago. Explore how building leadership matters, especially when resources are constrained. Join in on a community conversation around leading education innovation for the future of learning in a time of unprecedented change.

Digital technology has transformed the learning experience. Millions of learners use a rich array of tools and multimedia resources and connect with others in ways that weren’t possible, certainly not at scale, just a few years ago. Education needs to prepare those students for a new world of work where robots and artificial intelligence (AI) can undertake repetitive, dangerous and boring tasks. It is ideal therefore that learning and reskilling, just like work, can be done from almost any location. The possibilities offered by education technology have never been more exciting but it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that we are using these tools to educate people. Humans don’t all come with the same set of factory defaults. Designing educational experiences to accommodate differences in physical characteristics, neurodiversity, culturally influenced perceptions and personal aspirations is not an easy task. We need to rise to this challenge and deliver effective learning experiences with the aid of tools that are pedagogically and ethically sound.

The purpose of the Association shall be promoting and facilitating the use of technology in Idaho education. The Association shall promote, facilitate, and sustain education technology and all its users while enhancing the education of Idaho’s students for tomorrow’s technology. Learn More About IETA
