ICT in the classroom conference

SchoolNet SA will be celebrating 20 years of leading change in ICT integration for teaching and learning. This celebration will culminate at our national conference this year which will be held in Gauteng at Brescia House School in Bryanston, Gauteng from 5th- 7thOctober 2017.   At least 500 teachers and education department officials from all provinces are expected to attend this conference, which has been organised by SchoolNet and sponsored by Intel on a bi-annual basis in a number of provinces over the past twenty years.
 

In the past, the conference has been highly valued by educators and provincial departments alike for the way in which the sessions provide insight into the effective use of technologies for classroom teaching and learning. It is anticipated that this conference, just as the ones before it, will inspire teachers to higher levels of innovation.  Educators often return to their schools and classrooms, enthused with new ideas about more effective ways to enhance their teaching and become actively involved in professional development communities that support and sustain this level of enthusiasm.

The focus of the conference will be on the following themes:

• Teaching with Digital Content
• Innovations in Primary Schooling
• Leadership for Change
• Connecting classrooms
• Gaming and Makerspaces
• Technologies in the Classroom (Exhibitors/Vendors)
 

Sponsors and exhibitors are crucial to the success our conference, as this is needed to keep the conference fee affordable to teachers from disadvantaged schools. This years’ conference registration will be R 1000 for the three-day conference.
