LATEST LEARNING SOLUTIONS AT EDUTECH PHILIPPINES 2019

EDUTECH Philippines is a gathering of the tech sector’s leading solutions providers whose works are geared toward advancing the field of education through innovative applications of technology. The event was recently held at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, and REX Book Store again proved to be ahead of the curve when it comes to progressive and holistic learning solutions designed for 21stcentury learning.

With over 5,500 attendees, the conference’s theme of “21st Century Quality Education for All in the Philippines” was a resounding success for participants and exhibitors alike. Keynote speakers Fr. Benigno Beltran, SVD of Sandiwaan Center for Learning, initiated the conference’s lineup with his presentation, titled “Design Thinking in Education.” Mike Gilmour of GEMS World Academy, Singapore, inspired the audience with his experience and thoughts on “LeadershipInfluencing Organizational Excellence through 21st Century Skills.” William Sanchez, representing Saxion University of Applied Sciences from the Netherlands, gave insights with his keynote on “Get Ready for a Smart World: The Connected Teacher & 21st Century Learning.” The tech innovations showcased at the conference were oriented toward helping shape the future of learning, and REX’s exhibition featured its latest learning solutions designed for the Whole Child.

The REX booth featured Quidbots, electronic building blocks that are modular, magnetic, color-coded and reusable. Also featured were Schoology, a learning management system that serves as a platform for connecting students, parents, and educators all in a single, cohesive and easy-touse digital learning environment; and TestPro, a digital exam builder tool that helps educators create their own customized exams for Basic Education students.

The idea behind REX’s booth was how technology has helped transform the field of education into something more oriented toward how young learners must be able to creatively solve and adapt to problems and innovate with their own solutions. With the help of products that foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills, REX hopes that students will be able to form and come up with their own inventions, prototypes that will solve everyday problems, letting them think outside the box and become ready for the challenges that lay ahead in the future.
