FETC 2009 Opening Keynote Speaker: Philippe Cousteau

FETC gets tomorrow, January 21st in Orlando, Florida. It will be a great time to network and see what is on the horizon in education technology and it starts with one unique keynote speaker.

Philippe Cousteau, grandson of Jacques Cousteau and president of EarthEcho International, will be addressing the audience about his family’s legacy in regards to environmentalism and education. He is also creating a documentary series for Animal Planet focusing on the earth’s water systems and how humans interact with these ecosystems.

This should be a very interesting address. You would expect one of the many leaders in education technology, or perhaps a teacher or educator from Florida. This is a welcomed surprise as Mr. Cousteau has valuable insight on the education world from a different angle. This is a time for new ideas and you have to broaden your spectrum to attract the best.
