2021, the global epidemic is slowing down, and the world is gradually entering the post-epidemic era. Now we embrace together the coming of the 10th Global Technology Leadership and Instructional Technology Summit. This is an important milestone in the development of smart education. We are grateful for the efforts and dedication of global education leaders who have provided research and empirical experience over the past decade, and together we have built a pinnacle stage, shared our efforts and results, and witnessed the achievements of smart education around the world.
The theme of this year's conference is Digital Lesson Observation Promotes Lesson Studies. To promote teacher professional development more effectively, educational institutions and scholars from different countries and regions have actively developed their own lesson observation models with different purposes and characteristics. Collating the process and format of lesson observation advocated by various educators, it all comes to: preparation, observation, and discussion, which is the globally recognized model most suitable for teacher professional development.
Due to Covid-19, this year's global exchange event will be held online to allow educators and experts from all over the world to participate in this annual event of smart education. Through this platform, we will discuss the development trend and the diversified forms of digital lesson observation. The use of AI education big data, the integration of digital and automated mechanisms, and the rapid convergence of lesson observation data are not only just the gathering of expert wisdom and machine intelligence, but also a modern model of lesson observation in which wisdom flows forever.
