FETC 2024: A Global Stage for Innovation
Our journey began with the FETC 2024, where Team Canada's Trade Mission shone brightly. A BIG thank you to each participant who contributed to this event's success, with gratitude expressed to Matthew Waldron, Canadian Trade Commissioner on the ground in Florida co-organizer of the mission with MindShare. A little trivia for you! Did you know that the state of Florida is the #1 trade partner to Canada?
The 28th CanAm EdTech Reception, "Celebrating Excellence in Learning & Innovation," marked one of our best ever, thanks to our partners, sponsors, and the esteemed leaders in education who joined us. Your dedication to fostering a community of innovation continues to inspire. The singing of our respective Canadian and American Anthems was a truly unifying experience. Mental note to provide song sheets for next year! Congratulations to Jennifer Womble, FETC, Chair and the team for putting on one of the best ever events! We greatly value our Can/Am partnership!

“
AI is a powerful tool, but it only enhances learning if students and educators embrace an ‘H→AI→H’ approach,” State Superintendent Chris Reykdal continued. “
Start with human inquiry, see what AI produces, and always close with human reflection, human edits, and human understanding of what was produced.” |
