Appearances

Every so often, our work with clients takes us to far away places.  This time it's Costa Rica, where Peggy Grant will be giving the keynote presentation to a group of English language educators and curriculum advisors. Hosted by the Ministry of Education and the University of Costa Rica, with support from the Intel Education group, Peggy will be conducting three workshops about assessing 21st century skills in a project-based English language classroom in early December.

With more of our work being designed and developed for online learning environments, along with the convergence of the workflows to communicate in print and digital mediums , we're finding ourselves increasingly reliant upon Adobe's toolset.  So it's probably no surprise then, that our Content & Research Manager, Steven Burt, will be attending the AdobeMAX 2008 conference in San Francisco, November 16-19, 2008.

Several of our team from the Portland office will be taking a field trip to Seattle to attend the National School Board Association’s (NSBA) T+L Conference on Tuesday, October 28th. You're welcome to join us aboard Amtrak's Cascades for the round trip from Portland. It's a chance to meet informally and share, reflect, and brainstorm ideas, solutions and strategies for improving how technology is used to improve teaching and learning. 

In late September, Thor Prichard and Malcolm Heath are attending the School Interoperability Framework Association's Developer Quarterly Meeting to listen to presentations and discuss the latest additions and changes to the SIF Implementation Specifications.

If you're attending EdNET this year in Boston, look for Clarity Innovations' representative: Thor Prichard.  EdNET brings together the education industry's leaders, experts and key players for "the premier business-to-business conference in the industry". Designed to provide a networking and discussion forum, the intent is to come away with new ideas, colleagues and insight.
