Dr. Rod Carr is Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canterbury. Alongside his impressive educational and business achievements, Carr is an athlete who, despite being legally blind since birth, has complete 14 marathons in the past 8 years and swum the 6km open water swim from Kapiti Island to the mainland on several occasions. Carr brings a outstanding multi faceted intellect to TEDx and has strong opinions about Christchurch and New Zealand's place in the world both before, and subsequent to, the earthquake. As Carr points out, New Zealand is a first world consumer of credit being one of the most indebted nations in the world to be servicing its debt -- and that was before $30 billion of wealth was destroyed. Carr hopes that TEDx can contribute to an informed public debate about the appropriate support for Christchurch, given the reality of global capital constraints.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
