From Education Fast Forward’s 17th debate in partnership with UNESCO at Mobile Learning Week in Paris, 在我們的多元文化的Twitter聊天的夥伴關係，Edmodo, 到面試的前 10 入圍的VARKEY基金會的全球教師獎, 探索尖端技術，正在改變音樂教育, to welcoming the voices of new experts to our global teacher blogging team, it was a stimulating and revealing month around the world.
“Innovation and Quality: 同一枚硬幣的兩面?” was the title of Education Fast Forward’s 17th global debate at Mobile Learning Week in Paris in partnership with UNESCO. The debate brought together thought leaders from all over the globe to discuss the latest news and views on the impact of mobile technology in life-long learning. “Technology has the potential to unlock new approaches to assessment that will change what and how we teach,” said Jim Wynn, who noted that “the current curriculum shape and form that we see around the world with subjects taught in silos has to change.” Lord Jim Knight noted that the most convincing way he has seen technology utilized in education is flipped learning. “這種技術應該會看到更多的老師在上課前向學生推送學習內容, 然後更有效地利用在學校面對面的時間來嵌入學習,” he stated.
When our present and our future is inevitably a highly interconnected world, competencies like global openness, 同情, 尊重, adaptability and critical-thinking are no longer merely ‘helpful’ to students, they are essential for them to flourish. “全球視野中的教學 – 當今課堂上的多元文化主義” was the timely topic of our Twitter Chat hosted by Edmodo and ourselves which, not surprisingly, was trending on Twitter during the event. 特色嘉賓Dr. 威廉Gaudelli, 傑西卡Kehayes, and Dana Mortenson joined teachers and twitter users from all over the world to share practices in fostering global competency. Key insights into the future of global education were offered, including one from Jessica, Executive Director at the Asia Society: “我們越能促進理解和採取觀點, 並在尊重他人的同時鼓勵自己解釋自己的想法, 有更多的機會出現新的想法並加強社區. 與社區建立關係可以而且應該儘早開始, 促進社會上所有成員成為重要的聲音, including our youngest.”
Narrowed down from 8,000 nominations in 148 世界各國, the Varkey Foundation’s 全球教師獎 2016 came up with a list of ten finalists. Just prior to Pope Francis announcing Hanan Al Haroub the winner I had the honor to interview all the finalists. Aqeela Asifi, 馬哈茂德·阿尤布, 科林·赫加蒂, 哈南鋁Haroub, 喬Fatheree, 高橋和也, 邁克爾Soskil, 理查德·約翰遜, Maarit羅西, and Robin Chaurasiya shared their perspectives with me on how to make teaching a more prestigious career. Hanan Al Haroub insisted that “…teachers are the real power in this world. 他們是唯一誰可以改變社會, 誰可以創造生產力，積極世代的人…” 因此，, teachers should be treated with more respect and dignity. 我們應該 “provide salaries and conditions to entice bright, 創新/創意思維和提升該行業的概況…” suggested Richard Johnson. The future of education may be grim in places where teachers are not valued as an integral part of a prosperous society. As Mike Soskil said, “只有當我們把教師作為專業人士，他們是我們會看到，我們在我們的學校渴望成功。”
克雷格·斯旺 is the Founder and Chief Imagination Officer of Looplabs. Looplabs is a free, 共同, cloud-based music studio that lets anyone, 無論技術技能或能力, 輕鬆地進行, 分享, and discover music. While Looplabs is exciting for both amateur producers and music enthusiasts alike, it is also making waves in the education world. “允許老師建立一個項目，然後讓每一個學生互動並建立過一個片, but yet having them all connected at the same time, provides powerful ways to learn by doing it together.” Because Looplabs is designed to help beginners make music – “它可以很容易地, 直觀的方式，以探索組合物, to test, and try things…” – it makes for a wonderful tool to allow youth to discover their creative abilities. 和, importantly for educators: 免費!
這個月, 全球搜索教育 welcomed an expanded panel of experts as the new Top Global Teacher Bloggers. For their introductory collaboration we asked them a controversial yet essential question in global education: “什麼是最好的例子，你已經看到了教師收盤教育中的性別差距?” Maarti Rossi explained that, “該學校故意在教室裡混的性別是很重要的…” It’s also essential to engender self-respect and the self-confidence in every student, regardless of gender. Miriam Mason-Sesay summarized this practice wonderfully: “The idea is to catch them young to teach them their value and make sure that negative messages never get a chance to take hold.” Warren Sparrow identified the difficulties that many young boys have in education: “在南非的一個奇怪的現象是，有更多的男生比小學女生, but this gets reversed in high school and tertiary institutions.” Richard Wells suggested that this can be remedied by “翻轉教學或基於項目的學習. 這是連接到需要男生做，而接收. Most boys need to be active learners.”
我們感謝所有的朋友和支持者在世界各地.
