The International Conference on Teaching and Learning with Technology (iCTLT) 2010, jointly organised by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), will be held from 4 to 5 March 2010 at the Suntec Convention Hall. Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry & Ministry of Education, Mr S Iswaran, is the guest-of-honour for the opening ceremony.
The theme for iCTLT 2010 is “Advancing Learning with ICT: Innovate. Collaborate. Transform.” This year’s conference will focus on the development of digital age leadership to drive ICT implementation in schools and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to transform learning. iCTLT 2010 will feature three keynote addresses, ten spotlight sessions and about 100 papers at the concurrent sessions.
A total of 1,800 local and overseas delegates are expected at the conference, including school leaders, educators, academics, researchers and classroom practitioners, and industry leaders. iCTLT 2010 provides a platform for these participants to connect and collaborate on current and future thinking on technology in education, and share good classroom practices that tap on technology to support self-directed and collaborative learning.
Programme Highlights
Renowned speakers such as David Warlick, Jenny Lewis and Kevin Walsh, as well as a diverse group of academics, school leaders, teachers and industry partners will share their insights and knowledge on the use of technology in education. Presentations include online learning with Web 2.0 technology, pedagogies in an ICT-rich environment, critical success factors for school-wide transformation and models of innovative curriculum. Schools will also share their experiences on how they are using technologies in teaching and learning at both the main conference and exhibition.
Prior to the main conference, participants will have the opportunity to embark on learning trails to Sungei Buloh, Hort Park and Chinatown. To showcase how ICT is used in our schools, foreign delegates have also been invited to visit some FutureSchools@Singapore. On top of these, eight interactive workshops will be held to provide delegates with hands-on learning experiences to bring technology into the classroom more effectively.
Running concurrently with the conference is an exhibition which aims to showcase the technologies from industry partners, as well as poster presentations by schools which will highlight their efforts in harnessing ICT and the impact of technology on the way students learn.
iCTLT 2010 is supported by Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, Media Development Authority of Singapore, National Institute of Education, Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau and Academy of Principals.
