Future-proof Your Students (v1) [Presentation Thursdays]

A couple of weeks ago, Diwa organized another ICT for Basic Education Forum and asked me to give the opening remarks. I couldn't help myself and decided to develop a short presentation discussing some of the things we spend a lot of time thinking about at the company.

"Future-proof your students" has become Diwa's tagline for its products, and I wanted to articulate the importance for teachers and schools to adopt this mindset in terms of the educational materials and media of instruction they choose to employ. To me, given my own interest for where education and technology intersect, this is more like an advocacy than anything else. But aside from making a presentation that would open the eyes of the more "traditional" educators attending the forum, I was hoping to use the opportunity to prepare materials that better communicate the rationale behind the "future-proof" tagline within our organization too.

The result was the following slide deck:

Suffice it to say I'm very happy with how this deck turned out, both in terms of aesthetic and content. I'm also pleased the presentation comes out well whether I deliver it personally or whether the slides are viewed on their own.

Given the chance, I'd like to develop this into a full-blown exposition of the theme. At any rate, I foresee these slides being put to good use in their present iteration.
