First Russian edition of The
Learning Revolution
A new, completely updated version of the world's top-selling
nonfiction book, The Learning Revolution, has now been launched
in Russia.
The new,
first-time publisher is Khalil Shagiyev. He returned to live in
his home-country in early 2002 after working for four years in
Silicon Valley, California, USA.
Working in the
heart of the world's top digital powerhouse, he also became
fascinated at the role interactive technology will play in
education.
When he read the
latest U.S. edition of The Learning Revolution, he became
fascinated at the way in which it spelled out how to marry the
world's best interactive learning and teaching technology with
the world's best new learning and teaching methods.
Publishing in the
Russian language provided an extra difficulty for the
co-authors. Russian takes up 20 percent more space than English.
"So we had to provide 20 percent more left-hand 'poster
pages', says editor-publisher Gordon Dryden.
Russian publisher
Shagiyev traveled to England last summer to watch Dryden run two
one-day seminars for educators. He plans an author tour of
Moscow later in 2003.
Model Learning Revolution
seminars in New Zealand in July
The world's
southern-most city will host two one-week Learning Revolution
seminars in July 2003.
They will be held
in the Southland Institute of Technology in the heart of the
tiny city of Invercargill.
In both cases
they will introduce school principals, teachers and community
leaders to the new learning methods covered in The Learning
Revolution.
The first
five-day seminar runs from July 7 to 11 - mainly for
primary/elementary schools. And the second: from July 14 to 18 -
mainly for high schools, middle schools and intermediate
schools.
Both coauthors of
the book, Gordon Dryden and Jeannette Vos, will run keynote
sessions.
The entire
program is being organised by The Learning Web Ltd., New
Zealand-based international publisher of The Learning
Revolution.
The seminars are
being sponsored jointly by Industry New Zealand (the New Zealand
Government department's division that promotes innovation and
skills).
The seminars will
feature an alternating format that has already proven very
successful in New Zealand interactive technology conferences:
1hr 15 minute keynote presentations to for all attendees, then 1
hr 45 minute hands-on breakout workshops in which attendees work
in groups of 30, each with a personal computer, to learn
exciting new ways to use interactive technology in teaching.

Top British high school runs
Learning Revolution seminar
Cramlington
Community High School, near Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, in the north of
England, is running a one-day accelerated-learning seminar on
June 20, 2003.
The school's
learning director Mark Lovatt and principal Derek Wise have
written a great book called "Creating an Accelerated
Learning School".
This outlines the
great success they have had in rebuilding Cramlington around the
joint concepts of an "accelerated learning cycle" and
interactive technology.
OFSTED, the
British school examination authority, praises the school as one
of the best examples in England of using IT correctly.
Gordon Dryden,
coauthor of The Learning Revolution, will make the keynote
address at Cramlington's June conference.
Both The Learning
Revolution and Creating an Accelerated Learning School are
published in Britain by Network Educational Press Ltd: www.networkpress.co.uk
