Slides from Saturday’s Global Youth Policy Seminar presentation by Arthur Harkins and myself follow:

The Preparation to Practice Group is pleased to announce that the first Horizon Forum meeting of this year will be held on October 3 from 8:30 – 11:00am in the historic Upson Room at the Walter Library on the University of Minnesota East Bank campus.

Two visiting speakers from the Faculty of Latin American Social Sciences in Mexico will discuss initiatives to bridge technologies between classrooms (co-seminars), and the use of electronic media in classrooms to completely replace traditional textbooks to transform pedagogies:

• Giovanna Valenti, Director General, FLACSO México
  Internet-mediated co-seminars: Reflections on the Mexican experience
• Cristóbal Cobo, Communications Director, FLACSO México
  Enciclomedia: Redesigning curricula with videos, text, virtual visits, sounds and images

Space for the event is limited! RSVP to me at moravec@umn.edu.

The Horizon Forum is an ongoing discussion group, focused on the role of innovation and the future of PreK-17 education. The Forum is sponsored by the Preparation to Practice Group in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota.

Validated parking and a light breakfast will be provided.

Saludos! …to visitors from the UMN-FLACSO knowledge seminar!

I hope that this blog will serve as good resource for exploring issues surrounding knowledge and innovation societies. There are three easy ways to navigate this site to find the information you’re interested in:

1. Use the search box at the top of this page.
2. Browse the list of categories on the right.
3. Explore the tag cloud, where more frequently explored topics, ideas and memes appear in larger print.

As on the course blog, discussion and debate is also invited and encouraged here! Feel free to post your feedback!

Also, University of Minnesota students are encouraged to create their own blogs. The UMN Libraries hosts a “UThink” service that allows any person affiliated with the university to publish their own blog. More information is available at: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/
