Hello Julie,
NECC was such a whirlwind and obviously we didn't connect!
The focus of the $90 million ED-LINKS program is improved Teacher Professional Development for the 629,674 teachers in Pakistan. With the launching the ED-LINKS Learning 2.0 Platform next month we will be encouraging teacher-generated content employing interactive and collaborative technologies and are exploring a framework of standards like NETS. In Pakistan, the cost of teacher professional development is 25.5 times the cost of training a secondary school student. So rather than continuing to incur “High Per Capita Cost for Low Grade Teachers” (quote taken from USAID), we intend to record lectures from the top Pakistan teachers for distribution over the Internet resulting in a quality education for millions of students.
Let me know if you have ideas on how we could work together on this.

Julie, you did a terrific job in the ISTE leadership session today. I'm sorry I wasn't in your "classroom" during the rotation but I enjoyed what you said on the panel. I still hope to meet you during the show!
Julie, I look forward to meeting you. Will you be at the international reception on Sunday afternoon? I did some work with Ministry of Ed in Dubai in 2006 and would love to compare notes. Do you know Joyce Pittman? She is working in Al Ain, also in United Arab Emirates south of Dubai.
Julie - I would like to say hello at NECC and learn more about what you are doing in Qatar. Coincidentally, I just spoke this morning with my friend Hady Amr who is Director of the Brookings Doha Center. Phil Cruver
I have been thinking about the case study for ITGS and wondering if you and other IB schools would be interested in a Case study wiki. Pool resources and share ideas
