What is EduCon?

EduCon is both a conversation and a conference.

It is an educational innovation conference where we can come together to discuss the future and the now of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas — from the very practical to the big dreams.

The Axioms

The guiding principles behind EduCon

  1. Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members.
  2. Our schools must be about co-creating — together with our students — the modern citizen.
  3. Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around.
  4. Learning is networked.
  5. Schools must honor the lives our students lead today while preparing them for the lives they will lead tomorrow.

Please be sure to read the EduCon Code of Conduct.
