Robert Martellacci

Founder & Conference Chair

Dear Distinguished Education Colleagues,

 This past week while at the ICDE World Conference in Costa Rica, I had the opportunity to reflect on and process the memorable and powerful professional learning that took place at the 14th Canadian EdTech Summit.

What’s crystal clear to me from participating in both the #ICDEWC23 and #CDNEdTech23, while the focus was on tech-infused pedagogy, delegates truly value the human connections that catalyze learning and communities of practice.

It was so great to meet up with long-time friends and colleagues, and make new friends too! I love the collegial aspect of the education community that is unlike any other sector that binds us together because of our life’s working in making a meaningful impact on the lives students.

As we strive to accelerate the shift away from the archaic ‘industrial model of learning,’ it’s the evolving teacher-student relationship has never been more essential given the increasingly complex fast moving world students are facing today. Hence, we need to support and value educators like never before to keep and attract the best and the brightest to the profession. For they carry the key to unlock the full potential in students, to become agile and resilient globally minded leaders and learners.

While the Summit was a success on many levels, now the real work begins in collectively address BIG challenges ahead of us in education given the unprecedented rise of generative AI, daily threats from cyber hackers, student-wellbeing and overcoming the digital inequities and sustainability that continue to plague systems.

It truly takes a collective village, and one that not only embraces AI, but more importantly HI (Human intelligence) to keep us grounded.

The Summit demonstrated to me that we have the collective knowledge and will across Canada and beyond to make change happen in an accelerated pace. We need to continue to share success stories like Ethan’s, our grade four student presenter, who received a standing ovation for his innovative award-winning SDG invention project. Ethan and other students (and educators) I meet in my travels give me hope for the future!
