Baldev Singh, Director of Education Strategy, Imagine Education Ltd, UK
The rapid developments in (creative) technologies (webcams, Web 2.0 etc) pose a challenge for today's curriculum and educational systems. How can we align some of the creative technologies to make a difference in learning using well planned strategies? How can we support teachers to make the right decisions when it comes to integrating ICT into the curriculum? This presentation will explore how some digital tools if leveraged appropriately can lead to measured gains which ICT can make in education and one which all stakeholders expect to see. The presentation will explore the importance of global dimension in education and how ICT is making a difference in the classroom. The presentation will also explore some global trends in ICT in education and what are the key drivers which educators/teachers need to be aware of.
