Last Saturday, the General Meeting and Board of Directors meeting of the Japan Society for Educational Technology were held in Osaka, where Professor Suzuki from Kumamoto University was inaugurated as President. I have been appointed as a board member. I will be in charge of conference planning. I will be working alongside Professor Terashima from Osaka Kyoiku University, who serves as the Chair of the Conference Planning Committee, and Professor Himeno from Hokkaido University of Education, as a Vice-Chair. This year, the national conference will be held at Shimane University.

33rd National Conference: September 15 (Fri) – 18 (Mon/Holiday), 2017 at Shimane University, Matsue Campus

The term for a board member is… how many years? Was it two years? I will do my best over these next two years to help the field of Educational Technology continue to develop. Thank you for your support.
