Economics Teacher National Conference - 17 June 2010 British Library London - Book Places Now

Google has a remarkable programme called Authors at Google where top-rated authors are invited to the Googleplexes around the world to share and discuss their ideas with employees.

Tutor2u’s own national conference for Economics teachers on Thursday 17 June has the look and feel of one of the best Google events! We are delighted to have finalised the speaker programme for the event and all four of the main sessions promises to deliver some fascinating insights on the economics and business of change.

Our four speakers are confirmed as Stephen King (Chief Global Economist at HSBC), Hamish McRae from the Independent, Professor Paul Collier (Oxford University) and Dr Linda Yueh (Oxford University) - all of whom have new books whose arrival on the bookshelves is imminent. We are organising book signings for each author so delegates will be able to take away with them some terrific new reading for the summer. And Geoff will be running an informal lunchtime session for colleagues wanting to bring themselves up to speed with some ideas for great value items of software that can be used in teaching economics in the classroom including demonstrations of Prezi and Google Wave in action! (Both great alternatives to PowerPoint!)

Four outstanding speakers, a wonderfully comfortable and spacious auditorium, a chance to visit the sensational British Library or perhaps do a bit of after-conference shopping! And our traditional end of conference drinks party for those who can stay a little while and meet old friends and new.

Places at the conference can be booked here. There are superb value Departmental Deals for colleagues attending one or more of the three conferences at the British Library that week - for Economics, Business and Politics.
