Education leaders are under constant pressure to foster innovation and transformation while ensuring that learning outcomes are being met.

However, they often lack the time and the forum for connecting with education change-makers who could share successes, lead by example, and inspire them to advance innovations in teaching.

Cisco created GETideas.org as a public service to supports dialogue and collaboration for education leaders worldwide with the following:

Video interviews with education leaders and a library of more than 100 external videos on innovation and transformation
Blog postings with personal insight from leading academics, policy makers, and education luminaries
Strong content curation of more than 2000 case studies, reports, videos and links related to education topics
Social networking sites that engage education influencers, relay news, and promote timely conversations
Weeklong discussion forums with distinguished education leaders
Members can join or form affinity groups to focus dialogue and foster community around topics of interest

By bringing together more than 2500 education leaders from around the world, Cisco has created a virtual meeting place where policy makers, administrators, education researchers, and others share their knowledge and successes.
