Nov 2022 – Future of Education – Korea Google for Education Summit

Two days of Workshops

Google for Education Summits run by AppsEvents are fun, high energy, two-day events where teachers and trainers who are Google for Education experts run sessions for educators on the best use of Google tools across schools. Our attendees are a cross-section of teachers, IT staff, support staff, and school leadership.

The sessions cover a full range of subject areas; that provide the latest updates and application of tools that benefit classroom teachers, IT staff, school administrators and clerical assistants. We have a full range of sessions for beginners, intermediate and advanced users, and everything we cover is laser-focused on the application of the tools in the classroom, based on leading best practice.

Our global team collaborates on all events and we attract speakers from all corners of the globe! Whether you are looking to gain your Google Educator certification, learn about a Google Workspace tool you have never used, or implement transformation technology for learning across your organization, we have it covered.

In addition, we go broader than just Google, with ‘hands on sessions’ on covering extended apps, pedagogies and innovative topics. We have seminars for school leadership on navigating the difficult decisions they face, and we run sessions on digital citizenship, social media and the wider impact of technology in education. In addition, we look into the increasing use of VR and AR in education.

Our sessions are informal, fun and above all community driven. It truly is ‘educators helping other educators’. We believe that making new connections and friendships is a huge part of our summits and many of our attendees travel from different countries and combine the summit with the chance to see a new city. We always have a fun meetup at a local venue directly after the first full day of the summit, which is a great opportunity to meet the speakers and build lasting professional connections with people from other schools and countries.

At the Korea Google Summit, we will be running four pre-summit courses on Friday, 18th November 2022.

Why Busan?

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea. Busan blends the best of the old and new aspects of Korean culture together to make an amazing city to come and visit. Busan boasts an amazing architectural and infrastructural background that makes visiting a breeze; from a modern airport connecting to many cities around the world, to an incredible metro system to take you where you want to go. Busan has a natural beauty that is also unmatched in Korea as pristine golden-sand beaches back right up to forested mountains. There is an endless amount of outdoor activities to enjoy. Busan is one of the safest cities in the world where you can enjoy the vibrant culinary and nightlife scenes without any worries at all. With the pandemic coming to an end in Korea and life largely returned to normal, Busan is once again ready to step into the spotlight as one of Asia’s premiere destinations as it hosts the 2030 World Expo.

Why ISB?

The International School of Busan is the premiere international school in the southern end of Korea. With a student population of just under 400, this is a diverse, caring and welcoming school community that delivers all three of the IB programmes. With a renewed focus on infrastructure and development, the campus is set for hosting a world-class event with a large capacity gym, redeveloped learning spaces, outdoor areas to rest and recharge and an amazing array of amenities within a short distance from campus.
