Our Mission

The Mission of the Franklin Institute is to accelerate, worldwide, innovative use of technology in education and training so that the benefits of knowledge acquisition are affordable and accessible to all.

Global Learn Day Voyage XI

Each October we host an annual 24-hour, non-stop round the world "voyage" which showcases highly innovative activities in education and internet technology from 24 time zones. In order to build an audience in the millions we involve community radio stations and local television. Rule One is to make it easily accessible, underpinning the whole show with heavy use of POTS, Plain Old Telephone Systems. It's a worldwide celebration of learning that opens in the South Pacific and closes in Hawaii; in between are education's all-stars on a stage as big as the planet. Please visit our banner presentation from Global Learn Day II, The Keynote Presentation by Dr. Terry Redding. More information about Terry Redding.
