MindShare goes International! It was great hosting Luis Pinto, Education Business Director, JP — Inspiring Knowledge, Portugal who implemented the 1:1 computer deployment in Portugal. Our discussion around 21st century learning on a global scale was quite fascinating. Luis is also leading the P21 U.S. international working group to engage other countries such as Canada and our C21 initiative.
Incidentally, JP is one of Intel’s leading global distributors of the Intel based tablet clam shell tablet. Another cool innovation shared was their pop-up school. We look forward to forging a partnership with JP given their innovation spirit and leadership in supporting countries in implementing large-scale technology projects.
It is confirmed through our reliable sources that the Ontario Ministry of Education will be announcing a new 21st century learning vision imminently barring a provincial election.
Congratulations to Karen Stefanishyn (Woods), now VP of sales at Edsby. It was great catching up with her and her husband Lorne over dinner recently.
