THE TEACHERS Education Network (TEN), in partnership with events agency It’s Happening Events, will have their first ever Technology in Education Summit in the Philippines (TIES PH 2017) on July 29 at Crimson Hotel in Alabang, Muntinlupa City to promote the importance of technology in all schools nationwide.

TEN is a professional community of educators and lead learners that aim to elevate the standards of Philippine education.

With the help of It’s Happening Events and TEN chairman Professor Gino Luayon, they will be launching the first ever Technology in Education Summit in the Philippines (TIES PH 2017).

TIES PH will focus on the technologies that are revolutionizing the way we learn. There will be discussions that will revolve around the latest innovations transforming the classroom, in turn, promoting technologies in schools, and how to best prepare students using these innovations.

From educational video games that encourage math and science learning, to promoting computer programming skills, to the democratization of higher education through free online courses, this event explores technology’s transformative power for educators and students.

The summit will have notable speakers such as Craig Kemp, head of Educational Technology, Stamford International School Singapore; Ambe Tierro, senior managing director, Accenture Philippines; Doris Ferrer, executive director, PEAC; and Gian Javellona, CEO, Orange Apps; to further push the importance of ICT in all schools in the country.

“By giving importance to computing and ICT in education, Filipino teachers and students are provided the opportunities to be more competitive in the global economy,” said TIES PH Chair Gino Luayon. “Schools need to be updated in implementing systems that promote creativity and innovation,” he added.

Schools and colleges, both public and private, are encouraged to attend and participate in TIES PH 2017.
