Welcome to the 2nd International Conference for Teaching and Learning with Technology, iCTLT 2010

The International Conference for Teaching and Learning with Technology, iCTLT 2010, provides practitioners, academics, researchers, thought-leaders, policy-makers and industry partners across the Asia Pacific Region an exceptional opportunity to network, collaborate, share, and learn about cutting-edge research and effective classroom practices using technology to enhance teaching and learning. Welcome to Suntec Convention Centre in Singapore, a premier conference venue.

Jointly organised by the Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore, and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE®), U.S., the conference theme is ‘Advancing Learning with ICT: Innovate Collaborate Transform.’ iCTLT 2010, 3 - 5 March, highlights best practices, research and thought-provoking speakers from both the Asia-Pacific Region and from around the world. You should anticipate a most enjoyable and professionally satisfying event exploring how educators can create ICT-enriched learning environments that support self-directed and collaborative learning among students and illustrating how theory can be translated into practice.

This year, iCTLT is being held in conjunction with two other educational events in Singapore: the MOE-ExCEL Fest and Educational Resources Exhibition. We hope you will visit MOE-ExCEL Fest on 5 and 6 March as Singapore schools showcase creative learning and teaching approaches currently in use. Experience how innovative lessons are conducted and view exciting and innovative projects underway in our schools.

At the Educational Resources Exhibition, expect to see at least 50 exhibits showcasing a wide array of ICT and non-ICT based educational resources.

The inaugural iCTLT held in August 2008 attracted over 1800 participants representing more than 20 countries. We are confident this year’s conference will be another enriching event for educators around the globe.

We would very much like to thank the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, National Institute of Education, the Academy of Principals, and the Singapore Tourism Board and the Media Development Authority for their support. We are also grateful to all our sponsors, international speakers, trainers, exhibitors, local and overseas presenters, and many others who have helped us with this conference. We also thank our schools for participating in the poster presentations and for hosting the school visits.

MOE ExCEL Fest showcases innovations in our education system through exhibition and sharing by schools, and seminar talks by renowned speakers. For more information log on to www.excelfest.com.
