ECTC 2013

The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners is proud to announce the Inaugural European Conference on Technology in the Classroom, to be held from July 11-14 2013, at the Thistle Hotel, Brighton, England.

CONFERENCE THEME: "The Impact of Innovation: Technology and You" Technology is all around us. Long gone are the days when we could just walk into a classroom with a handful of papers and a piece of chalk. Even if we are in an environment that is lacking resources, our students with mobile phones, internet café, and social networking, are exposed to technology daily. And new uses of technology are being introduced daily. These new uses show how innovation and creativity go hand-in-hand. We invite language educators, administrators, policy makers, and others to join us at ECTC 2013 as we examine technology’s impact upon our classrooms, share what innovations we are currently implementing, and look to the future imagining the role technology will play in education.

The submission of other topics for consideration is welcome and we also encourage sessions within and across a variety of disciplines and fields related to technology in the classroom, including the following streams:

Beyond Web 2.0 Computer Adaptive Testing Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Digital literacy e-Assessment and new Assessment Theories and Methodologies e-learning and collaborative learning Education in a virtual world Future Classrooms Human computer interaction Instructional Technology Integrating e-learning in classroom based language teaching Interactive Whiteboard technologies (Blackboard, WebCT, etc.) Language Labs Learning Systems Platforms Mobile learning Mobile technologies Moodle and Classroom Teaching Multimedia New Technologies Open and distance learning technologies Social networking Support Centers Teaching online Telecollaboration Video Podcasting Virtual and personal learning environments Virtual Communities Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom Web-based Learning Web-based Writing Education Wikis, Blogs, and Online Journals
