Mike Eisenberg Rocks Manila

[Martin Swist <mswist@PORTALINC.COM>]

Mahuhay,

Mike Eisenberg, our Leader, was the opening keynote speaker at the Central
East Asia Council of Overseas Schools (CERCOS) Teachers' Conference this
weekend, November 8 & 9, 1996, in Manila.   Mike took Manila and the
conference by  storm--not an easy task in this land of typhoons, tornadoes
and volcanic eruptions.

Mike spent Thursday working with our media specialists and computer
teachers at International School Manila.  These meetings were so helpful to
our library faculty.  Two hours gaining vision, insight and techniques,
plus an opportunity to carefully check our compass with The Navigator.

Thursday night Mike spoke to, and empowered,  a theater-full of parents
concerning ways we can help our children with their homework through
employing the Big Six strategies.  Friday morning Mike addressed an
overflow crowd of 750+ delegates from Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, and of
course Manila , and a dozen other cities on this side of the Pacific rim,
for his keynote address: Real or Virtual:  Ensuring that Students Are
Effective Users of Information.  Mike delivered two more smashing programs
to packed venues of enthralled teachers.   Those talks were: Developing and
Implementing an Information & Technology Skills Curriculum (The Big 6), and
last but not least, AskERIC: Education Information With a Personal Touch.
In this
presentation, Mike also highlighted KidsConnect!


At the moment, Mike is the keynote speaker at the EARCOS Conference--the
administrators' version of CERCOS-- also being held in Manila.  Statesiders
Beware!  We will try to do everything in our power, and make many
outrageous offers,  to keep Mike and Carol Eisenberg here.
