Warm SIEC Regards from Ice-land, Petra Bragadóttir International President, 2013-2015

Dear SIEC friends:

I have often thought about how

lucky I was ten years ago when I

went to my first SIEC-ISBE confer-

ence in Stockholm. I have attend-

ed every year since, both the

International Conferences and

Nordic Conferences, and they are

always special. I think about the

opportunities I have had to share

ideas with educators from other

countries and how my attend-

ance at these conferences has

helped me to develop partner-

ships with members from differ-

ent countries and last, but not

least, to meet with all the friendly

people from all over the world

that are members in this special

organization. It is like a big family

reunion every year. We need to

increase the attendance at these

conferences and include as many

representatives from different

countries as possible. Everyone

will benefit and we will all get

more out of it by increasing the

diversity. So spread the word!

I am very excited to go to my first

NBEA conference in Los Angeles,

April 15th – 19th and to meet with

SIEC-ISBE members there. In

addition, the German speaking

countries are hosting their annual

Conference in the end of May.

I just returned from the annual

Executive Committee meeting

that took place in Helsinki in

the end of January. The EC had

a very productive meeting with

many great ideas. Additionally,

we were able to see the venue

for our conference this summer

and met with some members

from the organizing committee

in the Finnish Chapter. The

conference site, Arcada Univer-

sity of Applied Science, is a new

very beautifully designed building

and Helsinki is a wonderful city.

Make plans to attend the confer-

ence, I am sure of it will be great.

The pre-conference tour will take

you to St. Petersburg in Russia, a

beautiful city with a rich history

and interesting museums. The

State Hermitage, museum of art

and culture in St Petersburg is

one of the largest and oldest

museums in the world. It´s a

„must see“. The post conference

tours will take you to Tallin in

Estonia.

Please see the brochure about

the conference in this newsletter.

German-speaking Invitation

Allegro brings St. Petersburg closer

New high-speed Allegro

services between Helsinki

and St. Petersburg

started on 12 December

2010. The travel time

between the two cities is

three and a half hours.

The train is spacious and

the interior is timelessly

classy and it has a wide

variety of onboard

services.

Sokos Hotel Palace

Bridge

The Sokos Hotel Palace

Bridge has a fantastic

location in a secluded

corner of Vasilevskiy

Island, right next to the

Kunstkamer, the Old

Stock Exchange, and

many more historic

buildings, and just across

Palace Bridge from the

Hermitage and Palace

Square.

During the city tour it

is possible to see this

Russia's cultural

capital, St. Petersburg

A city of palaces and

museums, broad avenues

and winding canals, St.

Petersburg's short history

has endowed the city

with a wealth of

architectural and artistic

treasures. Alongside

world-famous attractions

such as the Hermitage,

St. Isaac's Cathedral and

the Mariinsky Theatre,

the city has scores of

lesser known but equally

fascinating sights.

Peterhof

One of St. Petersburg's

most famous and popular

visitor attractions, the

palace and park at

Peterhof (also known as

Petrodvorets) are often

referred to as "the

Russian Versaille",

although many visitors

conclude that the

comparison does a

disservice to the grandeur

and scope of this majestic

estate.

The Winter Palace –

The Hermitage

The residence of the

Russian emperors enables

you to make a unique

journey through time.

Registration for the 86th Inter-

national Conference to be held

in Helsinki, Finland.

cuss the advantages of SIEC-

ISBE this year. If each current

member found one person to

join, our organization would be

a powerful voice for Business

Education in the world.

During the International Con-

ference, Outgoing IP Tamra

Davis-Maxwell challenged each

chapter to find 2 (just 2) new

members while keeping all of

their current members. The

US Chapter was challenged to

increase their membership by

15 new recruits.

Membership is the driving

force for our organization.

Without new members bring

new ideas to our discussions,

conferences, and activities, the

organization cannot grow and

prosper.

Take the membership pledge

to find one colleague and dis-

Be the voice for Business Edu-

cation. Share our message and

recruit!

interest to our membership? If so, please share a

brief description and pictures! Thank you.

I Don’t Have Anything to Contribute to the Organization . . .

Submitted by Tamra Davis-

Maxwell

I have heard potential members

state that they will only join on

the years that they can attend

an international conference

because they “have nothing to

contribute.”

I disagree! Every business

teacher has something to con-

tribute to our organization.

The classroom teacher is using

materials, lesson plans, or tech-

nology tools that are new to

many teachers. Share your

ideas. We are all teachers

trying to meet the multitude of

obligations and expectations

that are placed upon us by

other teachers, administrators,

parents, students, and the gov-

ernment. I am asking each

person who reads this newslet-

ter to send one thing that can

be included in a future newslet-

ter or on our website.

Teacher educators are working

with future teachers to prepare

them to create lessons and

activities for the classroom.

Many of the assignments that

teacher education candidates

are given result in fresh, inno-

vative ideas for classroom ap-

plications. Ask your teacher

education students to share

their ideas.

Administrators see wonderful

things in the classroom. Please

encourage your teachers to

share their inspiring stories

with others.

Finally, university teachers are

conducting research and writ-

ing manuscripts. Please consid-

er submitting your manuscript

to the International Journal for

Business Education.

Submission is easy. Take 5

minutes and send your contri-

bution as an attachment. You

can e-mail contributions at any

time. I have created a file sys-

tem where I can store items

until they can be incorporated

into one of our publications.

My e-mail address is

[email protected].

What’s taking you so long? I’m

waiting for your e-mail. :)

Additionally, we have wonder-

ful social media sites in place.

Share in the discussions on

Facebook, LinkedIn, and our

own Website. To make it

easy, I have included direct

links from this article.

Helsinki Conference Hotels

Submitted by John Lightle, US Vice-President

to SIEC

Two hotels are recommended for those

attending the Helsinki Conference; Hotel

Scandic Paasi and Hotel Ava. Both are

nice, clean hotels with very friendly, help-

ful front desk staff. Both are located with-

in two blocks of multiple tram and bus

stops.

Signage throughout the city are typically in

two languages—Finnish and Swedish—

almost no English signage. Because I have

trouble understanding the pronunciation, I

usually asked the desk clerks to print the

name of transportation stops that I need-

ed so that I could more easily get myself

to the correct stops.

Hotel Ava is located in a high rise residen-

tial area near Helsinki Business College

campus. A few ethnic restaurants, bar,

and drug store are nearby. There is a nice

park in front of the hotel. The buffet

breakfast has limited selection but is very

adequate to begin your day. There is no

restaurant or bar in the hotel.

Studio rooms have a sink, refrigerator, and

tea kettle. Bath-

rooms are small.

Board, committee,

and EC meetings

will be held at the

Ava. You can walk

through the park

and coop gardens

to ARCADA Uni-

versity for the gen-

eral and pedagogical

sessions. Public

transportation is

also available to

travel to ARCADA.

Weekend rates at the Ava begin at 58.5 Eu-

ros and weekday rates begin at 77.5 Euros.

Both include buffet breakfast.

Hotel Paasi Scandic is located in a business

district and is closer to the city center area

but not within walking dis-

tance. This hotel is full

service with a restaurant

and a lobby bar. The rooms

are a little bigger than the

Ava as are the bathrooms.

Restaurants are in the area

and only a few tram stops

will get you to the city cen-

ter. The breakfast has a

large selection of food

items.

The Friday evening closing

gala will be held in the ad-

joining conference center to

the Paasi. Public transportation is available

to ARCADA University as it is too far to

walk.

Rates at the Passi begin at 129 Euros

including buffet breakfast.

Public trans-

portation is

very good.

Correspond

with your

hotel in ad-

vance request-

ing transporta-

tion directions

from the air-

port to the

hotel including

the bus stops.

Buses are

located at

Platform 21 at

the airport for

either Bus 60 or 65. The bus cost is 5

or 6 Euros to the hotel stops. Airport

taxi is available at a cost of 29.5 Euros

for one or two passengers. The charge

increases for each additional passenger.

Other taxis or non-scheduled taxis

cost 45-50 Euros from the airport to

the hotels.

Contact information for the two ho-

tels:

www.ava.fi or email [email protected]

www.scandichotels.fi/paasi or email

[email protected]

I recommend purchasing a multiple day

transportation pass for Helsinki. You

likely only need the pass for Helsinki

and not for any of the regions (which

increases the price). They can be pur-

chased at R Kiosks and likely other

locations as well. Passes are good for

trams, buses, and subways provided

that stay in Helsinki and in the adjoining

regions.
