---------- Forwarded message ---------- We would like to pass on to you some information about the upcoming Mobiles for Education (mEducation) Alliance International Symposium, to be held Sept. 5 – 7 in Washington, D.C. The Call for Proposals<http://www.meducationalliance.org/docs/Call_for_proposals-mEducation_Symposium_2012-04182012.pdf>for this year's is now open. The deadline for submitting a presentation, open session, demo or poster is May 25. The mEducation Alliance embraces a broad definition of mobile devices including, but not limited to: phones, e-Readers, tablet computers, flash memory, radio, micro projectors and other audio/visual devices. For this year’s mEducation Alliance International Symposium, we want to highlight your experiences and insights on partnership. What does a successful partnership mean for your work? What are the challenges and opportunities evident in partnerships designed to improve learning outcomes through the use of mobile technologies? What kinds of additional or expanded partnerships could your work benefit from, and what could the mEducation Alliance do to support this? The event is the preeminent forum for exploring the intersection of mobile technologies (broadly defined) and improved learning outcomes in developing countries. It is an intimate and intensely productive gathering of the world’s leading donors, researchers, implementers, and leaders from the public and private sectors. The event showcases the world’s finest cutting-edge research and project work pushing the field forward for delivering appropriate, accessible technologies and high quality, relevant content through innovative technological solutions. The Alliance was recently highlighted at White House event on science and technology with recognition of the notable ambitions of this group and diverse Steering Committee including USAID, US Department of State, Peace Corps, World Bank, IDB, UNESCO, UNICEF, ISTE, World Wide Web Foundation, MasterCard Foundation, GSMA, and World Vision among other organizations.
