British Council 2005
Seminar Index
The UK has developed many innovative and successful ways of using information and computer technology, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is being used widely and effectively to enhance learning in primary and secondary schools.
Nevertheless, important questions still remain about the role of ICT in the curriculum. Is it a conduit to deliver knowledge, a catalyst in developing creativity or a communicative tool for the learner and the teacher?
This seminar aims to:
identify the main concepts and interrelationships in ICT and education
examine practical examples of how ICT is implemented in schools and relate this to the policy and research viewpoints
develop independent and principled thinking in relationship to ICT in education
share experiences and best practice with other participants.
The seminar focuses strongly on participants exploring innovative ways of using ICT. Topics are explored through enquiry, activity, discussion and critical debate.
