RSCON4- Conversations on Teaching and Learning in a Networked world

 In a few days, thousands of educators from various different countries are expected to attend a free 3 day virtual conference, The Reform Symposium, #RSCON4.  RSCON will be held October 11th to 13th in conjunction with Connected Educator Month. The entire conference will be held online using the Blackboard Collaborate webinar platform. Participants can attend this online conference from the comfort of their homes or anywhere that has Internet access. This amazing conference provides educators new or currently active on social networks the opportunity to connect with educators and professionals in the field of education worldwide.

I am very proud to have the opportunity to present at this year's event and using the International Baccalaureate’s Learner Profile as a scaffold I would like to examine the ways in which we as a learning community engender empathy within our students and help take action to make changes to and in the world.
