IES 2019
Israel Education Summit
In the 4th and 5th of June 2019, I was invited to be a partner and interview leaders in the EdTech industry from around the world in the Israel Education Summit in Tel Aviv. , and it's an excellent opportunity to say thank you Yakki Dayan, CEO of EdTech Israel for inviting us and for the great Summit and to Hila Shaked, our producer that made the magic happen.
I had the chance to interview people from different parts of the world and with different positions and points of view.
It's an excellent episode to get a glimpse of the EdTech world, to get a broad perspective and a starting point. We had limited time to talk, and so there is much more to cover.
ב-4 ו-5 ביוני 2019 הוזמנתי להיות שותף ולראיין מובילים בתעשיית הטכנולוגיה החינוכית מכל העולם שהגיעו לכנס IES. הכנס הוא פרי יוזמת EdTech ישראל, מיזם Social Impact חברתי שהוקם לשלב את ישראל בתחום הטכנולוגיה החינוכית. הזדמנות טובה להגיד תודה ליקי דיין, מנכ"ל EdTech ישראל על ההזמנה והכנס המוצלח, תודה גם להילה שקד המפיקה בשטח שגרמה לקסם להתרחש.
היתה לי את ההזדמנות לראיין אנשים ממקומות שונים בעולם, תפקידים ונקודות מבט שונות.
אלו הם פרקים טובים כדי לקבל הצצה לתעשיית הטכנולוגיה החינוכית בעולם, לקבל פרספקטיבה רחבה ונקודת התחלה. היה לנו זמן מוגבל לשיחות ולכן קחו בחשבון שיש עוד הרבה מה לכסות בתחום.
