iCTLT 2016 aims to rejuvenate conversations and reaffirm friendships and networks forged during past iCTLT conferences to chart the future of learning together.
The focus for iCTLT 2016 is on nurturing future-ready and responsible digital learners. “Future Ready” emphasises our goal of empowering quality learning with technology for every learner in the Total Curriculum. “Inspire” encourages participants to tap into the affordances of technology for students to deepen their learning in subject mastery and 21st century competencies. “Connect” links reflective practitioners who have used Information and Communication Technology (ICT) productively in designing, engaging, learning experiences for their students. It is envisaged that with ICT, it can bring about greater efficiency, higher connectivity and enhance collaboration among the lifelong learners. “Transform” relates to how educational leaders guide teams and develop people as well as shape organisational culture and infrastructure for meaningful use of ICT.
